A few residents remain in this miserable village. Their failed plans, betrayals, brokenness, and lost dreams. They danced the dance of death... and someone entered their world, deceiving them into thinking he was their savior. This novel is characterized by precise and detailed description to explain the thoughts and actions of the characters to the reader, thus entering their minds, not only by listening to their words but also by reading their thoughts, even if they are illogical. "A magnificent novel, cleverly constructed and with an exciting narrative that captivates our interest with a distinctive and attractive vision." (The Guardian) "The excitement in Krasnahorkai's writings lies in his creation of a unique literary structure. And this novel, his first, is unlike anything in contemporary literature." (The New York Review of Books) "Krasnahorkai's worldview rivals Gogol's Dead Souls..." (W. G. Sebald) "An unignorable book by a master whose work can be compellingly compared to Gogol and Melville. Krasnahorkai's novel is a dissection of ruin in its most terrifying form, and a testament to resisting this ruin through inner worlds." (Susan Sontag) This novel inspired the global director Bela Tarr to produce his film adaptation, which won several international awards. Looking forward to your visit at the Dar Al Tanweer pavilion in
