Beskrivning
Discover a novel which arose from the author's ambition to invent a hell of his own. Kadare's macabre vision of tyranny was banned immediately when it first appeared in Albania in 1981.At the heart of the Sultan's vast empire stands the mysterious Palace of Dreams.Inside, the dreams of every citizen are collected, sorted and interpreted in order to identify the 'master-dreams' that will provide the clues to the Empire's destiny and that of its Monarch. An entire nation's consciousness is thus meticulously laid bare and at the mercy of its government...Translated by Barbara Bray from the French version of the Albanian by Jusuf Vrioni

Mer om författaren

Ismail Kadare, born in 1936 in the mountain town of Gjirokaster, near the Greek border, is Albania's best-known poet and novelist. Since the appearance of The General of the Dead Army in 1965, Kadare has published scores of stories and novels that make up a panorama of Albanian history linked by a constant meditation on the nature and human consequences of dictatorship. His works brought him into frequent conflict with the authorities from 1945 to 1985. In 1990 he sought political asylum in France, and now divides his time between Paris and Tirana. He is the winner of the first ever Man Booker International Prize.
