Summary/Abstract: This study identifies, classifies and argues main ideo-artistic functions of some modern discourse types in I. Kadare’s novel General of the Dead Army, which are analyzed in conjunction with some of the most typical tools and features of work’s style. The conclusion is that the entire discourse of the novel is systematically characterized by narrative techniques known as: “psycho-narration”, “interior monologue”, “quoted monologue” and “narrated monologue”. The dominance of these discursive modes proves that the novel is a pure example of denial of any form of realism, marking this way the first significant turnaround in Albanian literature toward total embracement of the poetics of modernity. This study approach has also enabled new emphasis on interpretation and defining the novel’s meaning.
