WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE 2025

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.

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.’
