Albania extends its coasts along the Adriatic and Ionian Seas in the Balkan Peninsula. A crossroads of civilizations, this small country has ancient, medieval and Ottoman villages. Isolated for a long time by the communist regime that ruled it for forty years, the writer Ismail Kadare has shed a welcome light on his homeland.
He spent his life writing about the totalitarian regime; the haunting atmosphere of the communist era resonated in the forty or so novels he wrote.
