Winner of the 2015 Man Booker International Prize n n The Melancholy of Resistance, Laszlo Krasznahorkais magisterial, surreal novel, depicts a chain of mysterious events in a small Hungarian town. n n 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. n n The novels 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. n n 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. n
