Livro – Romance
'A FILHA DE AGAMENON E O SUCESSOR'
Ismail Kadaré
(2008 Dom Quixote)

Durante o 1º de Maio albanês, um jornalista critico do regime vê-se dividido entre presenciar o desfile oficial e esperar pela namorada Suzana, que se afastara dele por recomendação do pai, alta figura do governo comunista. Escrito quase vinte anos depois de 'A Filha de Agamenon', o thriller político 'O Sucessor' retoma os personagens e a morte nunca esclarecida do primeiro-ministro Mehmet Shehu, em 1981, durante o governo de Enver Hodja.
Dois breves romances do escritor e jornalista albanês Ismail Kadaré, de 72 anos, perseguido no seu país pelas críticas ao regime comunista até conseguir asilo político e nacionalidade francesa no início dos anos 1990.
Man International Booker Prize 2005 – Ismail Kadare
"Ismail Kadare is a writer who maps a whole culture - its history, its passion, its folklore, its politics, its disasters."
John Carey, 'Man International Booker Prize' chair of judges
