VINTAGE CLASSICS : PALACE OF DREAMS PB

Discover a novel which arose from the authors ambition to invent a hell of his own. Kadares macabre vision of tyranny was banned immediately when it first appeared in Albania in 1981. At the heart of the Sultans vast empire stands the mysterious Palace of Dreams. Inside, the dreams of every citizen are collected, sorted and interpreted in order to identify the master-dreams that will provide the clues to the Empires destiny and that of its Monarch. An entire nations consciousness is thus meticulously laid bare and at the mercy of its government... Translated by Barbara Bray from the French version of the Albanian by Jusuf Vrioni
