A dystopia of astonishing stylistic virtuosity, this novel by the outstanding Hungarian writer and Nobel Prize laureate in Literature (2025) László Krasznahorkai was written in 1989.

A strange circus, the highlight of which is a giant stuffed whale, arrives in a small town. From that moment on, chaos erupts into the lives of the townspeople, and mystical events unfold one after another, providing a pretext for reflection on the "eternal questions" of great literature: the nature of good and evil, rebellion and submission, the impossibility of harmony in the world, and the fundamental mystery of the foundations of existence.
