The Concert de Ismail Kadare

The Concert

Autor Ismail Kadare Traducere de Barbara Bray
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2013
China is somehow involved with the increasingly desperate situation in Albania, but no one knows the extent of its secret alliances, political levers, and economic control. Skënder Bermema is sent to China on a fact-finding mission, and is confronted with the reality of Mao’s China, a nation intent on crushing individuality, independence, and creativity.

The intriguing promise of a mysterious gala concert is where the hand-picked foreign invitees expect to be able to decipher in the colors, figures, and gestures of the Chinese actors a message about China’s intentions. And no matter what any of them may be expecting, the message is shocking beyond their wildest imaginations.

Recenzii

"His finest book is The Concert, an epic study of the Albanians when living under the thumb of their sole world ally, the Chinese. It is half realism, half Borgesian, and the form and content jointly stun" Independent "The Concert is a splendidly deep and serious novel that entirely transcends, as it were, its unremarkable outer garment. Kadare's achievement is to dramatise truthfully throughout. This is a book to read and re-read" Guardian "It is Shakespearian in its sweep of history with its insertions of poetic and theatrical farce and its description of the contortions Albanians had to perform to survive Marxist doctrine" Sydney Morning Herald "The Concert is among the richest, most complex and most challenging works of his fictional cycle. Kadare's achievement is to have found once again the set of tricks that create the illusion of real life on the printed page" Sydney Morning Herald "He has been compared to Gogol, Kafka and Orwell. But Kadare's is an original voice, universal yet deeply rooted in his own soil" Independent on Sunday
