  • "A group of Albanian friends are torn apart by the political turmoil of the mid 1970s, as the nation's diplomatic ties with China begin to unravel, and their personal entanglements follow suit in the face of government insecurity."
  • "China is somehow involved with the increasingly desperate situation in Albania, but no one knows the extent of its secret alliances, political levers, and economic control. Skender Bermema is sent to China on a fact-finding mission, and is confronted with the reality of Mao s China, a nation intent on crushing individuality, independence, and creativity.The intriguing promise of a mysterious gala concert is where the hand-picked foreign invitees expect to be able to decipher in the colors, figures, and gestures of the Chinese actors a message about China s intentions. And no matter what any of them may be expecting, the message is shocking beyond their wildest imaginations."@en
  • "Après avoir évoqué la rupture de l'Albanie avec l'Union soviétique (en 1961) dans ##Le grand hiver##, l'Homère albanais centre son roman sur la rupture de son petit pays (3 millions d'habitants) avec la Chine, en 1977. Une oeuvre puissante, venimeuse (pour les dirigeants chinois) parfois cocasse, et complaisante envers le régime de l'Albanais Enver Hodja (Kadaré réside en Albanie ...)."
