Quote by László Krasznahorkai: “The road leads to the end of the world.”

This evocative phrase symbolizes a journey towards ultimate desolation or the collapse of all known order. It suggests a path not of progress but of decay, leading to a profound sense of finality and despair where nothing meaningful can survive.

Set in a remote, decaying Hungarian village, 'Satantango' captures the physical and spiritual deterioration of a society on the brink, mirroring the existential anxieties of a region facing profound political and social collapse.

Hungarian novelist whose work, including Satantango and The Melancholy of Resistance, is known for its long, spiraling sentences and its sustained investigation of apocalyptic despair and dark humor. He has won the Man Booker International Prize and is widely regarded as one of the most significant European writers of his generation.
