Historically, Ismaïl Kadaré ranks among the great writers who have used their gifts to denounce the dangers of utopia. Kadaré's style employs tragedy and the grotesque to demonstrate man's incapacity to create an ideal state without turning it into a nightmare and the arena of a bloody farce. A dazzling novelist as well as an admirable poet, Kadaré has built an oeuvre written in a language that history had reduced to a vernacular tongue. His books, translated into more than forty languages, now belong to the international literary heritage.
