A Novel

Ajutor

Ismail Kadares classic novel of a boys coming of age in the midst of the horrors of war, in a stunning new translation.Surrounded by the magic of beautiful women and literature, a boy must endure the deprivations of war as he suffers the hardships of growing up. His sleepy country has just thrown off centuries of tyranny, but new waves of domination inundate his city. Through the boys eyes, we see the terrors of World War II as he witnesses fascist invasions, allied bombings, partisan infighting, and the many faces of human crueltyas well as the simple pleasures of life. When he is evacuated to the countryside, he expects to find an ideal world full of extraordinary things, but discovers instead an archaic backwater where a severed arm becomes a talisman and deflowered girls mysteriously vanish.Masterful in its simplicity, Chronicle in Stone is both a touching coming-of-age story and a testament to the perseverance of the human spirit that will remind readers of Cinema Paradiso and Empire of the Sun.From the Trade Paperback edition.
