The Pyramid
Autor Ismail Kadare Traducere de Barbara Brayen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 sep 2013
When the new Egyptian Pharaoh decrees that he does not want a pyramid built in his honour his advisers are aghast. It is their firm belief that peace and prosperity only make the people more difficult to control - they must be kept under the whip. So the Pharaoh agrees to the construction of a pyramid colossal beyond imagining, an edifice that crushes dozens of people as each block is added and which inexorably drains the lifeblood from the country. As Egypt builds its monument to death, its neighbours plot and gloat...
'He has been compared to Gogol, Kafka and Orwell. But Kadare's is an original voice, universal yet deeply rooted in his own soil' Independent on Sunday

Recenzii
"[Kadare] chronicled the dark years of dictatorship in masterpieces such as The Pyramid" Independent "A haunting sense of time moving backwards and forwards like a train at a terminus, an authentic sense of adventure, and an extraordinary facility with metaphor take over. Kadare's new novel is mesmerising." Sydney Morning Herald "A vast, deep, obsessive parable. Like every parable, its fundamental significance transcends its apparent meaning" Figaro "A masterpiece... A hauntingly beautiful parable woven from the fabric of history yet timeless in its reach" San Francisco Chronicle Book Review "In the end, this book - which does not have (or need) a conventional plot, protagonist or conflict - adds up to a haunting meditation on the matter-of-fact brutality of political despotism, the harshness of life among the humble and powerless, and the vastness, ubiquity and stonelike permanence of death, which treats all humanity as equals." New York Times
