About the Book

Based on a seemingly trivial event in recent Balkan history, this fable about the history and spirit of the Balkans highlights the dangers of ideologies and the stoicism with which the region's people have always endured tyranny. The novel's narrator is the son of exiled Albanians and he sets out to catalog his father's library. When he discovers a collection of books related to goats, he remembers the events he witnessed during his childhood shortly after his family settled in Macedonia. During that time, just after the end of World War II, the new government worked tirelessly to create a great proletariat in a country that had until then been mostly rural. Shepherds were forced to move to the cities, and soon these were invaded by the goats that the shepherds refused to abandon. When the government ordered the exterminationof the goats, they did not foresee the problems it would cause in the daily lives of the citizens.Basada en un episodio aparentemente trivial de la reciente historia balcanica, esta fabula sobre la historia y el espiritu de los Balcanes resalta el peligro de las ideologias y el estoicismo con que el pueblo de la region ha soportado siempre las tiranias. El narrador de la novela es hijo de exiliados albaneses y se dispone a catalogar la biblioteca de su padre. Al descubrir en ella una coleccion de libros relacionados con las cabras, evoca los acontecimientos que presencio durante su ninez poco despues de que su familia se instalara en Macedonia. En aquella epoca, justo al terminar la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el nuevo regimen trabajaba con ahincopara crear una gran clase proletaria en un pais hasta entonces rural. Los pastores fueron obligados a instalarse en las ciudades y pronto estas fueroninvadidas por las cabras que los pastores se negaron a abandonar. Cuando las autoridades decretaron el exterminio de las cabras no se dieron cuenta de los problemas que causarian en la vida cotidiana de los ciudadanos."
