Description - The Three-Arched Bridge by Ismail Kadare
A hard-hitting parable about the conflicts that have ravaged the Balkan states, by Albania's most influential novelist.
When the construction of a bridge built to link the Balkans to Europe is repeatedly and mysteriously sabotaged, an old ballad starts making the rounds at local taverns. The bards sing of a legend - a woman immured in a castle wall to prevent it from falling. Some say the bridge is being damaged by local ferrymen, others blame the vengeful water spirits. But this is a town where terror and superstition reign and a solution must be reached. So it is decreed- a willing person must be plastered into the bridge...
