«El Palacio de los Sueños» is the political fiction novel by Ismail Kadare, published by Cátedra in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
In a despotic empire, a state department records and deciphers citizens' dreams to detect any threat to the regime. The novel turns this premise into an allegory of totalitarian power and the control of minds, with Kafkaesque echoes in its depiction of bureaucracy.
Cátedra edition in the Letras Universales collection, translated by Ramón Sánchez Lizarralde; number 287 in the series. The work was originally published in 1981.
For readers of political fiction and dystopias, and for those seeking a contemporary classic about the abuse of power.
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.
