Agamemnon’s Daughter by Ismail Kadare (Farsi)
Agamemnon’s Daughter is a haunting novella by Albanian author Ismail Kadare, written in 1985 during the oppressive regime of Enver Hoxha and smuggled out of Albania for publication. The story follows an unnamed television journalist in Tirana on the day of a May Day parade, reflecting on his recent breakup with Suzana, the daughter of the regime’s heir apparent. Through his introspective journey, the narrator draws parallels between contemporary political sacrifices and the ancient myth of Agamemnon’s sacrifice of his daughter, Iphigenia. Kadare uses this allegory to critique the dehumanizing effects of totalitarianism, illustrating how personal relationships and individual freedoms are subjugated to the whims of authoritarian power. The novella serves as a profound meditation on the costs of political conformity and the erosion of personal identity under repressive regimes.
