What is Chronicle in Stone about?

A disturbing mix of tragedy, comedy, politics and sexuality , Chronicle in Stone is a fascinating masterpiece from the winner of the inaugural Man Booker International Prize. WWII is about to start, but life for a young boy in small town Albania is still a game. Yet, as the country falls to the Italians, then the Greeks, then eventually to the Nazis, and is mercilessly bombed by the British, the boy grows up. In a seamless mosaic of dreams and games, Kadare's young narrator both reflects and distorts events as his ancient, magical home town and his own innocence and sense of wonder are lost forever in the madness and brutality of the war. Ismail Kadare is Albania's best-known poet and novelist. Translations of his novels, which include The Siege , The Successor, Chronicle in Stone and The Accident , have been published in more than forty countries. In 2005 he became the first winner of the Man Booker International Prize. textpublishing.com.au 'A thoroughly enchanting novel-sophisticated and accomplished in its poetic prose and narrative deftness, yet drawing resonance from its roots in one of Europe's most primitive societies.'
