Description

In the restless summer of 1915 a young violinist drifts between waking life and feverish imagination, yearning for the circus that haunts his thoughts. When he finally reaches the ticket booth, a hunchbacked director confronts him about a missing pass and demands a song instead of a seat. With trembling hands he offers the violin he has guarded for months, hoping the music might buy him entry.

The director leads him through shadowy corridors, past vivid curtains and a hall of startling spectacles: a man strangling a woman whose eyes are glass, clowns rehearsing like schoolchildren, and performers whose very bodies seem stitched together. The protagonist is forced to watch these uncanny displays while the circus prepares for its opening, his own role still uncertain. The tension between his fragile talent and the bizarre world of the big top promises a striking journey into art, madness, and survival.

About the author

Frigyes Karinthy

Frigyes Karinthy

1887–1938

Best known for his sharp humor and inventive style, this Hungarian writer moved easily between satire, fiction, journalism, and parody. His work ranges from playful literary spoofs to the dark, haunting novel Journey Round My Skull, drawn from his own experience of brain surgery.
