Description

The Siege By Ismail Kadare Author: Ismail Kadare

Product Details: ISBN: 9781921351631 Format: Paperback Pages: 338 Dims (mm): 154 x 233 Pub Date: 04-08-08 Pub Country: Australia Condition: NEW

Description: The Ottoman Army - the most powerful the world had known by that time - lays siege to a Christian fortress in the mountains of Albania. Above the colourful host looms the great dark wall of the citadel that has to be overcome. Told partly through the personal narrative of one of the defenders, partly through the eyes of the Ottoman chronicler Mevla Celebi, Ismail Kadare's The Siege is a gripping narrative of a bloody, complex struggle that ends in defeat and desolation for both sides. Its story of blood, gore and boiling pitch provides Ismail Kadare with another vehicle for his long meditation on human relations, human folly, the ambiguities of power and the meaning of history. The thoughts and sufferings of his fifteenth-century warriors are barely distinguishable from those that afflict us in the modern world.
