We are talking here about an accident in the literal sense of the word: a bus left the road and plunged into a ravine, two killed, a man and a woman, a couple of lovers, of course, while the surviving driver, it is unable to explain the cause of the accident.

It seems that this question has a bearing on what he saw or thought to see in his mirror. But it is unable to explain what it was exactly, or even to say who were the two passengers, where they were going and why, everything at home seemed so garbled.

A love story may seem the most ordinary thing in the world, but can also appear as intractable. Millions of people have beautiful experiences every day, there is nothing to solve the riddle. You end up believing that even lies its power. On the question immemorial "The love is there or is it an illusion?"It is now echoing that other question: if there is, can he tell? "

In this masterly work, Ismail Kadare has tried to tell the irracontable: a love story or the story of a murder or a completely different story covering them both as a mask? Until the end, the issue continues to obsess the drive.

At the age of thirteen years in a forgotten corner of communist Europe , Ismail Kadare, Albanian naive teenager, takes Shakespeare's Hamlet to make a correction of his own: "I remember the sunny days of winter where I took the book from the shelf, this time not to copy, but with a completely different idea. While others retain their Hamlet if they want it, I will write mine! "

After more than half a century, we can finally discover the Hamlet Kadare.

Although the action of the play goes back very far, almost at the time of Christ, it would be difficult to find a case as closely today the inhabitants of this planet. Fascinated by it all and supputent ponder endlessly about it. The mystery begins the first replica between the walls of the castle of Elsinore, when in the night and fog is expected the emergence of a spectrum. It lies in the question: "The story we see take place on stage cache does she not another? Another that Shakespeare could not, would not, had no right to tell? "

To penetrate the mystery of the most complex character of the theater world, the writer goes back to its birthplace among the dunes of Jutland ice in the Icelandic sagas, the depths of Oedipus and Orestes, to see that resurface in the He refers to as the "Hamlet outside," one that is changing the earth's surface in the world of the living.
