About This Novel
In order to solve the mystery of Homer, two amateur scholars from the United States went to the remote mountains of southern Albania to search for the only remaining ancient heroic epic. Unexpectedly, they were regarded as spies when they first arrived, and were closely monitored by people from all walks of life. They were also involved in unexpected ethnic conflicts and contradictions. "Kadare skillfully placed the classical myths in a modern context, inherited Gogol's provincial comedy mode, and tightly woven the multi-layered themes up and down, and made it filled with a sense of light banter.
