Metropole by Ferenc Karinthy
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.2mb
Overview: In Ferenc Karinthy’s dystopian novel, the protagonist, Budai, a Hungarian linguist traveling to Helsinki for a conference, inexplicably finds himself in a sprawling city overcrowded with people who can neither speak nor understand any languages known to him. Everything around Budai–the signs on the street, the smell and taste of food, the ubiquitous presence of endless queues at nearly every establishment–is foreign and perplexing to him.
A suspenseful and haunting Hungarian classic. The novel is a dystopian study of how loss of identity and individualism is both exacerbated and mitigated by linguistic and cultural dilemmas.
