About Book

Satantango

Masterpiece by László Krasznahorkai, winner of the Man Booker International Prize The original novel of "Sátántangó," a legendary work by film master Béla Tarr Pushing reality to the brink of madness, a challenging reading experience Renowned translator Yu Zemin takes on the "impossible," creating a miracle in translation history In a decaying village, a dozen villagers with nowhere to make a living stage a live drama of alcoholism, adultery, voyeurism, betrayal, dreaming, and shattered dreams during a continuous rainy and muddy late autumn. Indifference and numbness cruelly slaughter all vitality, until the appearance of two con artists ignites everyone's hope, leading them in an endless dance of death towards an imagined bright future... The book's remarkable structure and unique linguistic style have made it one of the most mysterious works in literary history, and a miracle in translation history.
