Osman Gjepali
Author of political allegories that explore power, conflict, and the systems that shape societies. I use timeless, anthropomorphised worlds to examine modern themes — war, economic imbalance, social control, and collective belief.

First Allegorical Work
Thirst for War
Thirst for War is an allegorical short story set in the savannah, where rival clans—lions, hyenas, and wild dogs—are trapped in a cycle of conflict.Through Leo, a young lion who questions the war he’s meant to inherit, the story exposes how power, scarcity, and hidden interests sustain violence beyond simple rivalry.A sharp political fable on the systems that perpetuate conflict—and the cost of resisting them.Available in ebook format, paperback and audiobook.
Second Allegorical work
Cash or Card?
Cash or Card? is a modern allegorical short story told through Baba, a ten-euro banknote moving through human hands and lives.Deposited into a bank, she's absorbed into the digital system, her journey shifts—transactions become invisible, and value is slowly eroded by abstraction and unseen costs.A concise fable on money, convenience, and the hidden mechanics behind everyday choices.Available in ebook format, paperback and audiobook.
Third Allegorical Work
Artificial Farm
Artificial Farm is an allegorical short work set on a farm at the edge of collapse, where Riccardo—a fragile colt—survives through an unexpected gift: speed.As machines replace labor and efficiency reshapes the system, his value shifts from necessity to exception—and eventually toward irrelevance.A stark fable on automation, progress, and the silent cost of being outpaced by the systems you once served.Available in ebook format, paperback and audiobook.
