Ismail Kadare's works are comparable to Balzac's in scope, Orwell's in critique of dictatorship, and Kafka's in disturbance. His writings reflect Albanian history and culture, exploring both its ugliness and dignity.
Kadare's upbringing in Gjirokaster, his education in Moscow, and his portrayal of Albania's modern history in his novels like Chronicle in Stone and The Fall of the Stone City shaped his literary identity.
