Book summaryIn this allegory of totalitarian rule, Kadare depicts a world so boring and sheltered that political crises are the only things that make life exciting. Media reviews"...Mr. Kadare makes us understand the secret of how a totalitarian regime survives: terror breeds isolation, and that isolation denies the inhabitants a crucial perspective, without which it's hard for them to realize just how abnormal their society really is." |
