Description
The General of the Dead Army is Ismail Kadare’s internationally acclaimed debut novel, first published in 1963. Set in post-World War II Albania, the narrative follows an Italian general and a priest tasked with exhuming and repatriating the remains of Italian soldiers who perished during the war. As they traverse the Albanian countryside, the mission evolves into a profound meditation on the futility of war, the burden of memory, and the haunting legacy of violence. Kadare’s poignant prose and allegorical storytelling offer a powerful critique of nationalism and the absurdities of military bureaucracy. This novel not only established Kadare as a leading voice in world literature but also provided a lens through which to examine the enduring scars of conflict
