Ismail Kadarè's Novel "Les Tambours De La Pluie": From The epic Novel to the tragic Novel

Author(s): Aleksander Zoto
Subject(s): Albanian Literature
Published by: SHKENCA Akademia e Shkencave e Shqipërisë
Keywords: Roman Tragedy; Ismail Kdarè; Albania

Summary/Abstract: Fantastic, epic, tragic, these are the words that are common in the pen of critics, when they have to speak now of the novels of Ismaïl Kadaré, not without sometimes falling – almost at least - into confusion. It must be said, too, that the author likes to mix or alternate genres. The novel “Les tambours de la pluie” seems to offer, in this respect, an example of choice, insofar as it expressly shows epic as well as tragic elements ... while flirting with the fantastic in a way that should be identified as characteristic, in particular, for the late works of the novelist.
