Agamemnon`s Daughter: In this spellbinding novel, written in Albania and smuggled into France a few pages at a time in the 1980s, Kadare denounces with rare force the machinery of the dictatorial regime, drawing us back to the ancient roots of Western civilization and tyranny. The partner to The Successor, Agamemnon`s Daughter is an impeccably crafted, psychologically incisive tale of a disappointed lover`s odyssey through a single day and his gradual realization of how the utter cruelty of dictatorship can express itself even in matters of the heart. The day begins as the unnamed narrator waits in vain for his lover Suzana, daughter of `The Successor,&#8221 even though he knows that she will have to sacrifice their love for her father`s success. As he moves through the crowded streets on the great socialist holiday, May 1st, the narrator recalls episodes of his life that illustrate the vast system of absurdity, paranoia, and cruelty that was Albania under dictator Enver Hoxha. Finally, as he watches Suzana in her decorated viewing box, the narrator realizes what her sacrifice truly means. Like that of Agamemnon`s daughter Iphigenia, which loosed the bloody nine years of the Trojan War, Suzana`s will serve to open a new floodgate of persecution and purging, from which no one will be safe. This book also showcases two stories by this European master of fiction, `The Blinding Order,&#8221 a parable about the uses of terror set in the Ottoman Empire, and `The Great Wall,&#8221 a chilling duet between a Chinese official and a soldier in the invading army of the great Central Asian conqueror of the 14th century, Tamerlane. From the Hardcover edition. Englisch, Ebook.

From the time the Khrushchevites took power to the moment when we came out in open confrontation with them, the relations of the Party of Labour of Albania with the Communist Party of the Soviet Union passed through a complicated process, with zigzags, with periods of exacerbation and periods of temporary normalization. This was the process of each getting to know the other through encounters in the course of the struggle and the continual clash of views. After the Khrushchevite revisionist putschists came to power, our Party, basing itself on the events that were taking place there, on certain stands and actions, which were ill-defined at first, but which, step by step, were becoming more concrete, began to sense the great danger of this clique of renegades, which hid behind a deafening pseudo-Marxist demagogy, and to understand that this clique was becoming a great threat both to the cause of the revolution and socialism as a whole, and to our country.
