Description
Miklós Szentkuthy's Prae, Vol. II is a novel that defies traditional narration and character development. Instead, it presents a complex web of voices, temporality, and events that blur the lines between fiction and non-fiction. This book is a comedy of ideas, where the author explores the freedom and openness of its potentialities. Published in 1934, Prae was considered an attack on realism, astonishing Hungarian critics who deemed it monstrous and alien to Hungarian culture. However, it is now recognized as a serious contribution to modernist fiction, ambitious in its aspirations and comparable to works like Ulysses and À la recherche du temps perdu. The book's title, Prae, refers to an overture, a multitude of thoughts, emotions, and ideas that mill and churn as chimes, setting the stage for Szentkuthy's subsequent work. This edition of Prae, Vol. II is a paperback publication of the book, which has gained cult status over time.
