SYNOPSIS
Winner of the 2015 Man Booker International Prize
Beauty, in László Krasznahorkai's new novel, reflects, however fleeting, the sacred - even if we are mostly unable to bear it.
In Seiobo There Below we see the Japanese goddess Seiobo returning to mortal realms in search of perfection. An ancient Buddha being restored; the Italian renaissance painter Perugino managing his workshop; a Japanese Noh actor rehearsing; a fanatic of Baroque music lecturing to a handful of old villagers; tourists intruding into the rituals of Japan's most sacred shrine; a heron as it gracefully hunts its prey. Told in chapters that sweep us across the world and through time, covering the furthest reaches of human experience, Krasznahorkai demands that we pause and ask ourselves these questions: What is sacred? How do we define beauty? What makes great art endure?
Melancholic and mesmerisingly beautiful, this latest novel by the author of Satantango shows us how to glimpse the divine through extraordinary art and human endeavour.
Winner of Best Translated Book of the Year Award 2014

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
László Krasznahorkai
PRÉMIO NOBEL DA LITERATURA 2025
László Krasznahorkai (Gyula, 1954), «mestre húngaro do Apocalipse», segundo Susan Sontag, e «autor intenso e intransigente», segundo W. G. Sebald, é autor de uma obra visionária, traduzida em quarenta línguas, constituída por romances, como O Tango de Satanás (1985), Az ellenállás melankóliája [Melancolia da Resistência] (1989), Háború és háború [Guerra e Guerra] (1991) ou Herscht 07769 (2021), ficção breve, ensaios e guiões que resultaram em adaptações cinematográficas por Béla Tarr. Foi distinguido com inúmeros prémios literários, nos quais se incluem o America Award in Literature em 2014, o Man Booker International Prize em 2015, o Prémio Kossuth, o National Book Award for Translated Literature em 2019, o Austrian State Prize em 2022 e o Prix Formentor em 2024.
Recebeu o Prémio Nobel de Literatura 2025 pela sua «obra envolvente e visionária que, no meio do terror apocalíptico, reafirma o poder da arte. É um grande escritor épico, na tradição centro-europeia que se estende de Kafka a Thomas Bernhard».
