<p><b>FROM THE WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE 2025</b><br><b>Shortlisted for The Man Booker International Prize 2018</b><br><br>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.<br><br>In <i>The World Goes On</i>, a narrator first speaks directly, tells twenty-one unforgettable stories, then bids farewell ('<i>for here I would leave this earth and these stars, because I would take nothing with me</i>'). 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...' <br><br><i>The World Goes On </i>is another masterpiece by the winner of the 2015 Man Booker International Prize. 'The excitement of his writing,' Adam Thirlwell proclaimed in the <i>New York Review of Books</i>, 'is that he has come up with his own original forms-there is nothing else like it in contemporary literature.'<br><br><b>Translated by Ottilie Muzlet, George Szirtes and John Batki</b></p>
