A dark, haunting masterpiece by the author of The Melancholy of Resistance and Seiobo There Below
Now in paperback, Satantango, the novel that inspired BÂ©la Tarrâ‚¬s classic film, is proof that the devil has all the good times. Set in an isolated hamlet, the novel 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. â‚¬Å“Their world,â‚¬Â in the words of the renowned translator George Szirtes is â‚¬Å“rough and ready, lost somewhere between the cosmic and tragic, in one small insignificant corner of the cosmos. Theirs is the dance of death.â‚¬Â Into this world comes, it seems, a messiahâ‚¬Â¦
