Chapter On Love

Meer over het boek

The narrative features a diverse cast of characters, including a reflective mayor, a nihilistic pope, a hanged brigand, and a courtesan with a young admirer, all navigating the brink of disaster. The writing showcases a polyphonic style, intertwining their thoughts on themes such as life, death, ethics, and aesthetics. Szentkuthy's work delves into complex philosophical musings, often veering into self-parody, while exploring the chaotic interplay of social order and human experience amidst an impending catastrophe.
