In the early fifteenth century, as winter falls away, the people of
Albania know that their fate is sealed. They have refused to
negotiate with the Ottoman Empire, and war is now inevitable. Soon
enough dust kicked up by Turkish horses is spotted from a citadel.
Brightly coloured banners, hastily constructed minarets and tens of
thousands of men fill the plain below. From this moment on, the
world is waiting to hear that the fortress has fallen. The Siege
tells the enthralling story of the weeks and months that follow –
of the exhilaration and despair of the battlefield, the constantly
shifting strategies of war, and those whose lives are held in
balance, from the Pasha himself to the technicians, artillerymen,
astrologer, blind poet and harem of women that accompany him.
Brilliantly vivid, as insightful as it is compelling, The Siege is
an unforgettable account of the clash of two great civilisations.
As a portrait of war, it resonates across the centuries and
confirms Ismail Kadare as one of our most significant writers.
