Description

|
|
|
The mysterious Palace of Dreams stands at the heart of a vast but fragile Balkan empire. Inside, workers sift, sort, classify, and interpret the dreams of the empire's citizens, searching for Master Dreams that provide clues to the destiny of the empire and its Sultan. Mark-Alem, scion of a noble family that has long provided viziers to the Sultan (and whose power the Sultan distrusts) is recruited into the Palace of Dreams and quickly comes to know what befalls subversive dreamers—and the sorts of dreams that might ruin an entire family. First published in 1981, Albanian writer Ismail Kadare's nightmarish allegory of a totalitarian state was immediately banned in his own country.
