When a mysterious traveling circus arrives in the dead of winter in a sleepy Hungarian town, word starts to spread that the circus folk may have impure and sinister intentions. A surreal, intense, and cinematic novel, The Melancholy of Resistance inspired Béla Tarr's masterpiece of Hungarian cinema Werckmeister Harmonies and was the recipient of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Literature.
