In 'The Palace of Dreams,' Ismaíl Kadaré constructs an allegory of totalitarian power through the story of Mark-Alem, a young man who secures a position in a disturbing state organization where citizens' dreams are analyzed and censored. This edition, revised by the author after obtaining political asylum in France, offers a profound insight into oppression and control in the Ottoman Empire.

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.
