The File on H
Language: English
Published by Vintage Publishing, GB, 2006
ISBN 10: 0099497190 ISBN 13: 9780099497196
Paperback. Condition: New. Two Irish-American scholars from Harvard journey to Albania in the 1930s with a tape recorder (a 'new fangled' invention) in order to record the last genuinely oral epic singers.Their purpose, they say, is to show how Homer's epics might have been culled from a verbal tradition. But the local Governor believes its an elaborate spying mission and arranges for his own spy to follow them.The two dedicated scholars realise only too late that they have stumbled over an ants' nest.This simple tale by Albania's most eminent and gifted novelist serves to lift the veil on one of the most secret and mysterious countries of modern Europe.'Witty and touching. It consolidates Kadare's reputation as one of the finest writers to emerge from communist Europe' Sunday Times.

A Dictator Calls
Language: English
Published by Vintage Publishing, GB, 2024
ISBN 10: 1529920574 ISBN 13: 9781529920574
Paperback. Condition: New. **LONGLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE 2024**'Comrade Stalin wishes to speak with you.'A fascinating exploration of the relationship between writers and tyranny, from the winner of the first Man Booker International Prize.In June 1934, Joseph Stalin allegedly telephoned the famous novelist and poet Boris Pasternak to discuss the arrest of fellow Soviet poet Osip Mandelstam. In a fascinating combination of dreams and dossier facts, Ismail Kadare reconstructs the three minutes they spoke and the aftershocks of this tense, mysterious moment in modern history.Weaving together the accounts of witnesses, reporters and writers such as Isaiah Berlin and Anna Akhmatova, Kadare tells a gripping story of power and political structures, of the relationship between writers and tyranny. The telling brings to light uncanny parallels with Kadare's experience writing under dictatorship, when he received an unexpected phone call of his own.Translated from the Albanian by John Hodgson'One of Europe's most decorated authors. Seasoned fans [of Kadare] will be enthralled' Sunday Times.
