In 'Broken April', Ismail Kadare transports us to the mountains of Albania, where the 'Kanun', an unwritten blood law, governs the lives of its inhabitants. Gjorg Berisha, driven by this law, finds himself embroiled in a revenge that has lasted seventy years, becoming a debtor himself. At the same time, the writer Bessian Vorpsi travels to these lands hoping to observe this reality without being trapped by it. This edition has been revised by Ramón Sánchez Lizarralde, the translator, based on the author's final edition after obtaining political asylum in France in 1990.
Ismail Kadare was an Albanian novelist, poet, essayist, screenwriter and playwright. He was a leading international literary figure and intellectual, focusing on poetry until the publication of his first novel, The General of the Dead Army, which made him famous internationally.
