FROM THE WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE 2025 Shortlisted for The Man Booker International Prize 2018 A Hungarian interpreter obsessed with waterfalls at the edge of the abyss in his own mind wanders the chaotic streets of Shanghai. A traveller reeling from the sights and sounds of Varanasi encounters a giant of a man on the banks of the Ganges ranting on the nature of a single drop of water. A child labourer in a Portuguese marble quarry wanders off from work one day into a surreal realm utterly alien from his daily toils. In The World Goes On a narrator first speaks directly tells twenty-one unforgettable stories then bids farewell (' for here I would leave this earth and these stars because I would take nothing with me '). As László Krasznahorkai himself explains: 'Each text is about drawing our attention away from this world speeding our body toward annihilation and immersing ourselves in a current of thought or a narrative...' The World Goes On is another masterpiece by the winner of the 2015 Man Booker International Prize. 'The excitement of his writing ' Adam Thirlwell proclaimed in the New York Review of Books 'is that he has come up with his own original forms-there is nothing else like it in contemporary literature.' Translated by Ottilie Muzlet George Szirtes and John Batki
