This poetic and dreamlike novel follows a young man who arrives at a monastery, drawn by an inexplicable force. As he explores the monastery and its surroundings, he experiences moments of transcendence, contemplation, and a deep connection to the natural world. László Krasznahorkai crafts a mesmerizing, almost hypnotic narrative, weaving together spirituality, philosophy, and the human longing for meaning.
