"Set in an isolated hamlet, Satantango unfolds over the course of a few rain-soaked days. Only a dozen inhabitants remain in the bleak village, rank with the stench of failed schemes, betrayals, failure, infidelity, sudden hopes, and aborted dreams. At the center of Satantango is the eponymous drunken dance"--Page [i].

Winner of the 2015 Man Booker International Prize The Melancholy of Resistance, László Krasznahorkai's magisterial, surreal novel, depicts a chain of mysterious events in a small Hungarian town. A circus, promising to display the stuffed body of the largest whale in the world, arrives in the dead of winter, prompting bizarre rumours. Word spreads that the circus folk have a sinister purpose in mind, and the frightened citizens cling to any manifestation of order they can find - music, cosmology, fascism. The novel's characters are unforgettable: the evil Mrs. Eszter, plotting her takeover of the town; her weakling husband; and Valuska, our hapless hero with his head in the clouds, who is the tender centre of the book, the only pure and noble soul to be found. Compact, powerful and intense, The Melancholy of Resistance, as its enormously gifted translator George Szirtes puts it, 'is a slow lava flow of narrative, a vast black river of type.' And yet, miraculously, the novel, in the words of Guardian, 'lifts the reader along in lunar leaps and bounds.'

Set in contemporary times, Baron Wenckheim's Homecoming tells the story of a Prince Myshkin-like figure, Baron Béla Wenckheim, who returns at the end of his life to his provincial Hungarian hometown. Having escaped from his many casino debts in Buenos Aires, where he was living in exile, he longs to be reunited with his high-school sweetheart Marika. Confusions abound, and what follows is an endless storm of gossip, con men, and local politicians, vividly evoking the small town's alternately drab and absurd existence. All along, the Professor--a world-famous natural scientist who studies mosses and inhabits a bizarre Zen-like shack in a desolate area outside of town?offers long rants and disquisitions on his attempts to immunize himself from thought. Spectacular actions are staged as death and the abyss loom over the unsuspecting townfolk.

A classic escape nightmare, Chasing Homer is sped on not only by Krasznahorkai’s signature velocity, but also by a unique musical score and intense illustrations In this thrilling chase narrative, a hunted being escapes certain death at breakneck speed—careening through Europe, heading blindly South. Faster and faster, escaping the assassins, our protagonist flies forward, blending into crowds, adjusting to terrains, hopping on and off ferries, always desperately trying to stay a step ahead of certain death: the past did not exist, only what was current existed—a prisoner of the instant, rushing into this instant, an instant that had no continuation … Krasznahorkai—celebrated for the exhilarating energy of his prose—outdoes himself in Chasing Homer. And this unique collaboration boasts beautiful full-color paintings by Max Neumann and—reaching out of the book proper—the wildly percussive music of Szilveszter Miklós scored for each chapter (to be accessed by the reader via QR codes).

Worlds of Hungarian Writing responds to the rapidly growing interest in Hungarian authors throughout the English-speaking world. Addressing an international audience, the essays in the collection highlight the intercultural contexts that have molded the conventions, genres and institutions of Hungarian writing from the nineteenth century to the present. They are mapping some of the ways in which a modern literature is produced by encounters with languages, cultures, and media external to its traditionally conceived boundaries. But rather than viewing intercultural exchange as an external force, the collection recognizes its enabling importance to the globalizing reception and circulation of Hungarian writing over the continuities and constraints implied by more traditional national narratives. Worlds of Hungarian Writing posits intercultural exchange as the very substance of a literary culture.Discussions of the politics of appropriation and translation, of the impact of émigré writers and critics, and of the use of world-literary models in genre-formation complement studies of the fate of western leftist critical theory in post-1989 Hungary, of the role of African-American models in contemporary Roma culture, and of the use of photography in late 20th-century prose. The volume spans a wide generic range, from the achievements of such canonical 19th-century critics and poets as József Bajza and János Arany, to neglected women authors-translators such as Theresa Pulszky, to modernist writers and critics like Antal Szerb and György Lukács, and to the contemporary novelists Péter Esterházy, Péter Nádas, and László Krasznahorkai. Each essay is an original contribution to comparative literature and to the study of this Central-European literature, but is intended to be accessible to readers unfamiliar with its traditions.

Roman ecranizat în 1994, în regia lui Béla Tarr. „Un roman genial... Un scriitor vizionar." The Guardian Într-un sat pustiit din Ungaria, într-o atmosferă înecată în mucegai, rugină și putrefacție, personajele romanului Satantango încearcă din răsputeri să-și aleagă un drum în viață, să găsească răspunsuri și să supraviețuiască. „Știi, dansul e slăbiciunea mea", spune unul dintre ele — și, dansând, uită cu toții de nenorocirea pe care o lasă în urmă, de putregaiul care macină lucrurile, de clădirile care cad pe oameni. Totul e mișcare, dans în Satantango: personajele, care-și părăsesc casa în căutarea unei fantezii; natura, care ocupă cu repeziciune locul lăsat gol de oameni și freamătă nevăzut; destinul, care îi ține pe toți într-o așteptare nestatornică, ispitindu-i cu semnele salvării; chiar și timpul are zvâcniri neașteptate, ordonând materia după principii stranii. Și totul se petrece în virtutea unei așteptări al cărei sfârșit nu se întrevede, al cărei adevăr e încă departe. „Un roman profund, tulburător." James Wood, The New Yorker „Pentru un scriitor ale cărui personaje sunt atât de interiorizate, Krasznahorkai dezvăluie adesea momente neașteptat de expansive. El preia ceva din umorul diabolic al lui Gogol și al lui Bulgakov și își îndreaptă eroii către un final pe care-l lasă învăluit în mister." The New York Times „Prin intensitatea și originalitatea prozei sale, László Krasznahorkai este unic printre romancierii europeni. Unul dintre cei mai misterioși artiști ai momentului." Colm Tóibín

Um autor visionário. Um romance implacável e fascinantemente sombrio. Publicado na Hungria em 1985, Sátántangó é um romance monstruoso. A ação se concentra na chegada de um homem misterioso, que pode ser um profeta, um vigarista, ou o próprio demônio, a uma aldeia húngara onde a chuva não para de cair. Os habitantes do lugar, um elenco de desajustados e enlouquecidos (camponeses esfarrapados; um médico alcoólatra observando obsessivamente seus vizinhos; jovens perdidas num moinho destroçado; uma garota com deficiência tentando matar seu gato) descobrem em determinado momento que Irimiás, um homem a quem atribuem poderes extraordinários, e dado como morto, está a caminho do lugar, com seu companheiro, Petrina. Para esperá-los, reúnem-se numa taverna, espécie de porão do fim do mundo, onde discutem, bebem e dançam grotescamente ao som de um acordeão. De braço dado com Kafka, Beckett e Walser, o vencedor do International Man Booker Prize László Krasznahorkai nos conduz por um lento fluxo de lava modernista, como se entrássemos e saíssemos de becos impossíveis. O cenário é e não é a Hungria sob o comunismo – o autor mantém tudo envolto nas brumas da abstração –, e a fé depositada na aparição de um líder salvador faz com que a obra não perca sua assombrosa atualidade. "É tudo diferente [...] Não significa nada termos visto alguma coisa. Paraíso? Inferno? Mundo do além? Bobagem. Tenho certeza de que estamos enganados. E mesmo que a nossa imaginação não pare de funcionar, não chegaremos nem um pouco mais perto da verdade." "O mestre húngaro do apocalipse." — Susan Sontag "Um dos artistas mais misteriosos em atividade." — Colm Tóibín "A universalidade da visão de Krasznahorkai rivaliza com a de Almas mortas de Gógol e supera em muito todas as preocupações da escrita contemporânea." — W.G. Sebald "Suas longas e sinuosas frases me encantam." — Imré Kertész "O tipo de escritor que pelo menos uma vez em cada página encontra um jeito perfeito de expressar algo que alguém sempre sentiu mas nunca foi capaz de descrever." — Nicole Krauss "Profundamente inquietante" — James Wood "Não há nada parecido na literatura atual." — Adam Thirlwell

This volume examines the various forms of mobility in the cinema of the Visegrad countries and Romania, bringing together the cross-disciplinary research of mostly native scholars. Divided into four thematic sections, it expands the reader’s understanding of the political transition and the social changes it triggered, the transforming perceptions of gender roles and especially masculinity. The spaces of “in betweenness” and contact zones, whether geographical, interethnic or communicative, (im)mobility and transmedial encounters of Eastern European subjectivity are recurring figures of both cinematic representations and their theoretical analyses. In-depth and transcultural in their nature, the investigations gathered in this volume are informed by political, social and cultural history, genre, gender and spatial theory, cultural studies, sociology and political science, and, of equal importance, the rich personal experience of the authors who witnessed many of the discussed phenomena in “close-up”.

The Routledge Encyclopedia of Films comprises 200 essays by leading film scholars analysing the most important, influential, innovative and interesting films of all time. Arranged alphabetically, each entry explores why each film is significant for those who study film and explores the social, historical and political contexts in which the film was produced. Ranging from Hollywood classics to international bestsellers to lesser-known representations of national cinema, this collection is deliberately broad in scope crossing decades, boundaries and genres. The encyclopedia thus provides an introduction to the historical range and scope of cinema produced throughout the world.
