Description
The Fall of the Stone City by Ismail Kadare In September 1943, Nazi troops advanced on the ancient gates of Albania. The next day, they vanished without a trace. As the townsfolk wondered if they had dreamed the events of the previous night, rumours circulated about a childhood friendship between a local dignitary and the invading Nazi Colonel. A captivating novel of resistance in a dictatorship, The Fall of the Stone City is steeped in Albanian folklore. It explores a fateful dinner party that would transform twentieth-century Europe. This powerful story showcases Kadare at the height of his powers, offering a gripping portrayal of a pivotal moment in history. With its unique blend of historical fiction and local legend, this book provides a compelling insight into a complex period in European history.
