Aleksandar Hemon's new novel is immense.Not because it is inordinately long it isn't but because it contains almost as much as its title promises: journeys that take years, and lives that span continents; falling empires and storied cities; so many wars they blur and merge in the characters' memories; indelible loves, unbearable losses; dreams and songs and megalomaniac delusions; witty allusions, rude jokes.
