Not knowing much about the history, recent or ancient, of Kosovo and the region, detracted from what I got out of the book. If I had known more, I think I would have understood more of the veiled references that were made. As it was, the language was entrancing, the epic-ness sad and fateful, and it was a good book to make one muse about history and grudges and breaking the cycle of ill will...

June 28, 1389: Six hundred years before Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic called for the repression of the Albanian majority in Kosovo, there took place, on the Field of the Blackbirds, a battle shrouded in legend. A coalition of Serbs, Albanian Catholics, Bosnians, and Romanians confronted and were defeated by the invading Ottoman army of the Sultan Murad. This battle established the Muslim foothold in Europe and became the centerpiece of Serbian nationalist ideology, justifying the campaign of ethnic cleansing of Albanian Kosovars that the world witnessed with horror at the end of the past century. In this eloquent and timely reflection on war, memory, and the destiny of two peoples, Ismail Kadare explores in fiction the legend and the consequences of that defeat. Elegy for Kosovo is a heartfelt yet clear-eyed lament for a land riven by hatreds as old as the Homeric epics and as young as the latest news broadcast. No library descriptions found. |

Foi no dia 28 de junho de 1389 que se deu, no "Campo dos Melros" (região hoje conhecida como Kosovo), a sangrenta batalha entre a coalizão bálcano-cristã e o exército otomano. Desde então, os vencidos não tiraram o luto. No dia 28 de outubro de 1989, o dirigente sérvio Milosevic lançou novo apelo ao massacre, desta vez contra os albaneses, dando início à implosão da Iugoslávia. Voltando no tempo, Kadaré, que reúne em seu livro três histórias pungentes, desvenda a triste poesia que se esconde no lamento dos que precisam reaprender a viver.
