By Ismail Kadare. Dramatised by TimberlakeWertenbaker. In the 1930s, two Harvard scholars travelled to Albania to record the local epics and prove that
Homer performed such pieces - and that he belonged to an oral tradition that was still thriving. A darkly comic tale, based on fact, ending in an inevitable clash of cultures and a tragic misunderstanding.
