László Krasznahorkai – Sátántangó
Budapest, 1985 – First Edition

WINNER OF NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE 2025!

Rare first edition of the debut novel by Nobel Prize–winning Hungarian author László Krasznahorkai.

This groundbreaking work marked the beginning of Krasznahorkai’s unique literary voice, known for his long, labyrinthine sentences and apocalyptic atmosphere. The striking cover art is by Hungarian painter Pál Deim.

Sátántangó was later adapted into the legendary seven-hour film (1994) directed by Béla Tarr, which became one of the landmarks of modern cinema.
Writer Susan Sontag called the film “devastating, enthralling for every minute of its seven hours,” adding that she would be “glad to see it every year for the rest of [her] life.”

Krasznahorkai (born 1954, Gyula, Hungary) went on to become one of the most celebrated contemporary authors. His later works include The Melancholy of Resistance, War & War, and Baron Wenckheim’s Homecoming. He has received numerous international awards, including the Man Booker International Prize (2015), the National Book Award for Translated Literature (2019), and Germany’s Best Book of the Year Award (1993).

Condition: Good. No stains, creases, or inscriptions. The spine of the dust jacket is lightly sun-faded; otherwise a clean and well-preserved copy.
