Review
""Kadare is patently a world-class novelist and prose poet"" (Boston Globe)
"" A vast, deep, obsessive parable. Like every parable, its fundamental significance transcends its apparent meaning"" (Figaro)
""The political fable has always been Kadare's particular forte: his innate skill as an adventure writer makes him avoid the pitfall of abstractions"" (Nouvel Observateur)
From the Publisher
When Cheops decreed that he did not want a pyramid built for him, the court sages were left aghast.
Translated by David Bellos from the French version of the Albanian by Jusuf Vrioni
