Hungarian author László Krasznahorkai has been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Literature for his "compelling and visionary oeuvre" that, in the midst of apocalyptic terror, reaffirms the power of art," according to the Swedish Academy.
Krasznahorkai, 71, is renowned for his dense, philosophical prose and long, intricate sentences. His works often explore existential and societal themes, delving into the complexities of human nature and the challenges of modern life.
Notable among his publications are Satantango (1985) and The Melancholy of Resistance (1989), both of which have been adapted into films by Hungarian director.
In addition to his literary acclaim, Krasznahorkai has received several prestigious awards, including the 2015 Man Booker International Prize and the 2019 National Book Award for Translated Literature
The Nobel Prize in Literature includes a monetary award of 11 million Swedish kronor (approximately $1.2 million), an 18-carat gold medal, and a diploma.
Other Nobel Prize categories such as Physiology or Medicine, Chemistry and Physics were announced earlier in the week withe the much anticipated Peace prize to be announced on Friday 10th October
The official award ceremony is scheduled to take place on 10th December 2025, in Stockholm, Sweden.
The Swedish Academy's decision to honor Krasznahorkai highlights his significant impact on contemporary literature.
His works are celebrated for their profound exploration of themes such as the human condition, societal decay, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
