KRASZNAHORKAI, László. Seiobo There Below. Trans. from the Hungarian by Ottilie Mulzet. London: Tuskar Rock Press. 2015. 8vo. First British edition, first printing. Originally published in Hungary in 2008. This British edition follows the American translation of 2013. Publisher’s black cloth lettered in silver gilt to the spine, in the dust jacket. A fine copy in like unclipped dust jacket (£16.99), very gently bumped to board edges, and very slightly crimped to the jacket edges, but a most pleasing copy.
A veritable book of beauty by the Hungarian author and recent recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature. The plot follows episodically the human engagement of beauty in art, complex in both its structure and syntax, spanning place and time, fact and fiction, echoed by his Nobel win’s justification; "for his compelling and visionary oeuvre that, in the midst of apocalyptic terror, reaffirms the power of art". The book won the Man Booker Prize and the Best Translated Book Award. Becoming increasingly uncommon.
