international prize for literature this year, is the first Albanian

writer to be taken notice in nearly 80 years. His classic novel,【M2】______

The General of the Dead Army, is a meditation on the consequences

of war, a hugely moved account of the meaning of duty and the【M3】______

tragedy that blind obedience entails.

It is early 1960s, nearly 20 years as the Second World 【M4】______

War ended. An Italian General, accompanied with a sinister priest 【M5】______

who is also Italian army colonel, is sent to Albania to locate 【M6】______

and collect the bones of his countrymen who had died during the

War and return them for burial in their native land. They are

armed with maps, lists, and other important informations such as【M7】______

measurements, dental and other records of the missing personnel.

The team tours the countryside, organising digs and disinterment

and, as they try to find the dead sons of forgotten families, they

wonder at the sense and scale of their task. The General constantly

talks to the priest who is accompanying them the futility of 【M8】______

war and the sheer meaningless of the whole enterprise.

As they go deeper into the Albanian countryside they find

their footsteps follow, sometimes anticipated, by a fellow General【M9】______

who is also looking for bodies—the bodies of German countrymen.

Like his Italian counterpart, the German too struggles in the remote

countryside, against the cold and rain and the hostile terrain, It is a

thankless job looking for the remains of dead 'souls' merely to take

them back home for a decent burial. Is it worthy the exercise？ Isn't【M10】______

this a mistaken sense of national honour？
