ISMAÏL KADARÉ Comments

Ismail Kadare (born 1936 in Albania) has been a leading literary figure in Albania since the 1960s. He focused on poetry until the publication of his first novel, 'The General of the Dead Army', which made him famous outside of Albania. In 1996, he became a lifetime member of the Académie des Sciences Morales et Politiques of France.

Kadare is regarded by some as one of the greatest European writers and intellectuals of the 20th century and, in addition, as a universal voice against totalitarianism.
