«Trois chants funèbres pour le Kosovo» is a short story collection by Ismail Kadaré, published by Fayard as a paperback (119 pages, in French).
Three stories about Kosovo, the plain of the "field of blackbirds" where in 1389 a Balkan coalition was defeated by the Ottomans. Kadaré uses that battle to reflect on how defeat became permanent mourning and a political weapon, and on the memory that continues to project tragedies over the Balkans.
Translation from Albanian by Jusuf Vrioni; original title: «Tri këngë zie për Kosovën». Published in 1998.
For readers of historical fiction and Balkan literature.
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.
