The General of the Dead Army

Ismail Kadare

Kadare's Albania is a country of rain, mud and mountain silence, crossed twenty years after the war by an Italian general and a priest sent to recover their nation's dead. The map runs from the capital Tirana out through the northern highlands to old battlefields and a labourers' work camp, with the Adriatic coast and the port of Durrës always at the country's back.
