El firmán de la ceguera is a collection of five stories by the Albanian author Ismail Kadare, translated into Spanish by Ramón Sánchez Lizarralde. Through powerful metaphors, such as the absurd law that punishes with blindness those suspected of having the evil eye, or the construction of Hagia Sophia over an old Christian church, Kadare narrates a world full of cruelty and the charm of tormented lands, where history is mixed with the mythical and the fantastic. These parables of the human condition reveal Kadare's epic and prophetic writing, focused on his native Albania, a territory of multiple peoples, languages and religions, which embodies the tragedy of a legendary hatred.
Ismail Kadare was an Albanian novelist, poet, essayist, screenwriter and playwright. He was a leading international literary figure and intellectual, focusing on poetry until the publication of his first novel, The General of the Dead Army, which made him famous internationally.
