商品描述内容简介A page-turning dystopian classic that stands alongside
Brave New WorldandGulliver's Travels.
Voyage to Kazohiniais a tour de force of twentieth-century literature--and it is here published in English for the first time outside of Hungary. Sándor Szathmári's comical novel chronicles the travels of a modern Gulliver on the eve of World War II. A shipwrecked English ship's surgeon finds himself on an unknown island whose inhabitants, the Hins, live a technologically advanced existence without emotions, desires, arts, money, or politics. Soon unhappy amid this bleak perfection, Gulliver asks to be admitted to the closed settlement of the Behins, beings with souls and atavistic human traits. He has seen nothing yet. A massively entertaining mix of satire and science fiction,Voyage to Kazohiniahas seen half a dozen editions in Hungary in the seventy years since its original publication and remains the country's most popular cult classic.媒体推荐"Massively entertaining! . . . Make room for the new Gulliver. He has brought home news out of Kazohinia." --Gregory Maguire, author ofWickedandOut of Oz
"However you interpret it, the novel is most certainly a literary masterpiece." --William Auld
"Like Milton . . . Szathmári is fascinated by humankind’s precarious oscillation between good and evil; and, like the novelist Aldous Huxley in
Brave New World,he is deeply suspicious of notions of human perfectibility this side of heaven itself." --Humphrey Tonkin, President Emeritus of the University of Hartford
"As if Bradbury and Orwell had been mixed with fresh wild berries, Voyage to Kazohinia was so ahead of its time that its time still hasn't caught up. Perhaps now it will." --Miklos Vamos, author ofThe Book of Fathers
"Voyage to Kazohinia belongs on every bookshelf alongside the works of Orwell, Huxley, and Zamyatin." --Gyorgy Dragoman, author ofThe White King.
"Sándor Szathmári writes in the best tradition of Jonathan Swift in using the framework of an adventure story for a fascinating in-depth exploration of human relationships. . . . And he remarkably brings off a crystal-clear style that never gets boring in the least."
--Reinhard Fössmeier, International Academy of the Sciences San Marino
"A powerful stimulus to thought. What distinguishesVoyage to Kazohiniafrom similar ventures and yet links it to Huxley's
Brave New Worldis its description of both utopiaanddystopia."
--Michel Duc Goninaz, author ofLa Plena Ilustrita Vortaro de Esperanto(Complete Illustrated Esperanto Dictionary)
