По мнению председателя жюри Букера 2005 года
Джона Кери, "Исмаил Кадаре - писатель, который нарисовал карту целой
культуры - ее историю, ее страсти, ее фольклора, ее политики, ее катастроф.
Он является универсальным писателем, продолжающим восходящие к Гомеру
традиции повествования".
He's a story-teller – a bard
– a rhapsode, indeed, spinning yarns that are always slightly strange
yet hauntingly familiar.
David Bellos
Professor
John Carey, Chair of the judges, comments:
"Ismail Kadare is a writer who maps a whole
culture - its history, its passion, its folklore, its politics, its disasters.
He is a universal writer in a tradition of storytelling that goes back
to Homer."
Kadare is an explorer of
vast areas of human suffering, a writer who recognises, in our myriad
conflicts, stories of humour and misery, happiness and treason, evil and
greatness, that have changed little since the times of Homer.
Alberto Manguel
The Spectator
'He has been compared to Gogol, Kafka and Orwell.
But Kadare's is an original voice, universal yet rooted in his own soil.'
Shusha Guppy, Independent on Sunday
He has been compared to Gogol, Kafka and Orwell, but his is an original
voice, universal but rooted in his own soil.
He has for long been the
best- known Albanian writer of his generation, perhaps of all time, and
is one of the most remarkable European novelists of the 20th century.
His work is as immense as Balzac's, as unrelenting in its critique of
dictatorship as Orwell's, and as disturbingly fantastical as Kafka's.
It is an invention as well as a reflection of what it means to be Albanian,
and an exploration of both the ugliness and the dignity of a small, ancient,
oppressed nation. Kadare is perhaps the last 'national writer' of European
history.
