Shortlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize 2013. In
September 1943, Nazi troops advance on the ancient gates of
Gjirokaster, Albania. The very next day, the Germans vanish without
a trace. As the townsfolk wonder if they might have dreamt the
events of the previous night, rumours circulate of a childhood
friendship between a local dignitary and the invading Nazi Colonel,
a reunion in the town square and a fateful dinner party that would
transform twentieth-century Europe. A captivating novel of
resistance in a dictatorship, and steeped in Albanian folklore, The
Fall of the Stone City shows Kadare at the height of his powers.
