Spring Flowers, Spring Frost

In a town at the foot of the northern Highlands, life goes on as always, but people are in a state of shock: a bank has been robbed, a sure sign of the Westernization of this backward Balkan land. Meanwhile, other strange events--such as the marriage of a girl and a snake--confirm that ancient legends still prevail. People are flocking from far and wide to search for a tunnel to the Secret State Archives, said to house records of crimes they may have committed. Some even claim the ghosts of former dictators Hoxha, Brezhnev, and Ulbricht -- not to mention Oedipus--have been seen there ... Against this backdrop, a simple and sensual love story between a painter and a girl stands out as light against dark.

  • "Novel on the marriage of a girl and a snake it confirm that ancient legends still prevail."
  • "As spring arrives in the Albanian mountain town of B, some strange things are emerging in the thaw. Bank robbers strike the National Bank. Old terrors are dredged up from the shipwreck of history. And ultra-explosive state secrets are threatening to flood the entire nation. Mark, an artist, finds the peaceful rhythms of his life turned upside down by ancient love and modern barbarism and by the particular brutality of a country surprised and divided by its new freedom."

  • "Une petite ville du nord de l'Albanie à l'aube de l'an 2000. Dix ans après la chute du communisme, les gens sont encore traumatisés. Malgré tout, la vie va de l'avant, comme elle l'a toujours fait. Et dans un hold-up perpétré contre une banque, on voit un signe de modernité, d'occidentalisation de la société."
