问题    Ismail Kadare, who was rewarded the Man Booker            【M1】______
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?
【M7】
