Summary

Laszlo Krasznahorkai: The Melancholy of Resistance

The Melancholy of Resistance The novels The Satanic Tango (1985) and The Melancholy of Resistance (1989) could not be the great secret of Hungarian literature for long due to their excellence, and László Krasznahorkai soon became a new, unavoidable name on the world literary scene, and today, after the publication of twenty novels, stories, essays... he has entered the narrow circle of candidates for the Nobel Prize. His praises were written by renowned authors such as Sebald and Susan Sontag, and he gained wider popularity through the films he made based on his novels and screenplays with Béla Tarr. Their unconventional teamwork resulted in magic, a pulsating combination of the sacred and the demonic, but also the circus and the sublime - an attractive-repulsive interweaving of the worlds of Krasznahorkai's novels and Tarr's films, which are difficult to enter, and even more difficult, much more difficult, if not impossible, to leave. U Melankoliji otpora, koju je kritičar New Yorkera James Wood nazvao »komedijom apokalipse«, neobični se događaji počinju nizati kad u provincijski gradić na jugu Mađarske dolazi zagonetna cirkuska skupina s golemim kitom koji privlači znatiželjnike i karizmatičnom nakazom Princom koji privlači nezadovoljnike… Osim intrigantnog zapleta, zahtjevnijeg će čitatelja privući autorova sugestivna, meandrirajuće duga rečenica; vrtoglava višeznačnost zbivanja; apocalyptic, grotesque scenes that question the possibilities of resistance to the ruling system; then the power of the omniscient narrator's voice that describes the most subtle moments of the psychological fluctuations of the novel's heroes... All these are just some of the features of Krasznahorkai's fascinating writing, a man who, like his hero, may not have deserved the award "for the simplest and most purposeful way of life", but "with his extraordinary talent he gilded the boredom of everyday life in the sphere of art".
