Este artículo explora la práctica de la deuda de sangre refractada por el prisma de Abril quebrado (1978), de Ismail Kadare, que está ambientado en la Albania de principios del siglo XX. El análisis de los temas emergentes revela algunas percepciones importantes para Derecho y Literatura. Examinamos la relación de la deuda de sangre con ciertos temas que entran en el ámbito de los encabezados estructurales de las condiciones sociopolíticas, el ethos y los valores sociales y los mecanismos de gestión de conflictos. Cuando situamos el temario del autor en una perspectiva de imaginación histórica, entre la historia y la épica, el pasado y el presente, se sugiere la perspectiva de la longue durée relacionada con el derecho consuetudinario y las disputas. Esa visión, a su vez, provoca reflexiones sobre la supervivencia y la continuación de la deuda de sangre como forma de vida en sociedades contemporáneas.
