Laszlo Krasznahorkai WINS The Nobel Prize in Literature 2025
Hungarian novelist celebrated for dystopian, melancholic novels that reaffirm the power of art The Guardian 10 OCT 2025 ![]() 'Beauty in language. Fun in hell' ? The Nobel prize in literature for 2025 has been awarded to the Hungarian author Laszlo Krasznahorkai, the Swedish Academy has announced. The academy cited the 71 year olds compelling and visionary oeuvre that, in the midst of apocalyptic terror, reaffirms the power of art. Krasznahorkai is known for his dystopian, melancholic novels, which have won numerous prizes, including the 2019 National Book award for translated literature and the 2015 International Booker prize. Several of his works, including his novels Satantango and The Melancholy of Resistance, have been adapted into feature films. I am deeply glad that I have received the Nobel prize above all because this award proves that literature exists in itself, beyond various non literary expectations, and that it is still being read, said Krasznahorkai. And for those who read it, it offers a certain hope that beauty, nobility, and the sublime still exist for their own sake. It may offer hope even to those in whom life itself only barely flickers. Krasznahorkai richly deserves the prize, said the novelist Hari Kunzru. He has a reputation as an austere figure of European high culture, and indeed some of his work is uncompromisingly bleak and difficult, but hes also a curious, playful and very funny writer. When I read him, I feel fortified, both as a human being and as someone whos trying to make art. He shows me whats possible. Born in Gyula, Hungary, in 1954, Krasznahorkai first made his mark with his 1985 debut novel Satantango, a mesmerising portrayal of a collapsing rural community. The novel would go on to win the Man Booker International prize in English three decades later, in 2015. It was also famously adapted into a seven hour film by director Bela Tarr, with whom Krasznahorkai has had a long creative partnership. Often described as postmodern, Krasznahorkai is known for his long, winding sentences the 12 chapters of Satantango each consist of a single paragraph and the kind of relentless intensity that has led critics to compare him to Gogol, Melville and Kafka. Krasznahorkai is a great epic writer in the central European tradition that extends through Kafka to Thomas Bernhard, and is characterised by absurdism and grotesque excess, said Anders Olsson, chair of the Nobel committee. He described Krasznahorkais prose as having developed towards ? flowing syntax with long, winding sentences devoid of full stops that has become his signature. Krasznahorkais career has been shaped by travel as much as by language. He first left communist Hungary in 1987, spending a year in West Berlin for a fellowship, and later drew inspiration from east Asia particularly Mongolia and China for works such as The Prisoner of Urga, and Destruction and Sorrow Beneath the Heavens. While working on War and War, he travelled widely across Europe and lived for a time in Allen Ginsbergs New York apartment, describing the legendary Beat poets support as crucial to completing the novel.

Norway Braces For Trumps Revengeful Reaction After He Didnt Win Nobel Peace Prize
US president may impose tariffs, demand higher Nato contributions or even declare Norway an enemy, analyst says Donald Trump SNUBBED For Nobel Peace Prize Despite Gaza Deal He had openly campaigned to be given the prize - something which worked against him with the Norwegian Nobel Committee The Guardian 10 OCT 2025 ![]() Norwegian politicians were steeling themselves for potential repercussions to US Norway relations as it was not awarded to Donald Trump The Norwegian Nobel Committee pointedly said on Thursday that it had reached a decision about who would be named 2025 peace prize laureate on Monday, several days before Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire under the US presidents Gaza plan. Taking into account the timeframe and the composition of the independent five person committee, most Nobel experts and Norwegian observers believe it is highly unlikely that Trump would be awarded the prize, leading to fears in the country over how he will react to being overlooked so publicly. Kirsti Bergst?, the leader of Norways Socialist Left party and its foreign policy spokesperson, said Oslo must be prepared for anything from this tyrant ![]() 'Donald Trump is taking the US in an extreme direction, attacking freedom of speech, having masked secret police kidnapping people in broad daylight and cracking down on institutions and the courts. When the president is this volatile and authoritarian, of course we have to be prepared for anything, Bergst? told the Guardian 'The Nobel Committee is an independent body and the Norwegian government has no involvement in determining the prizes. But Im not sure Trump knows that. We have to be prepared for anything from him' Trump has long been outspoken about his belief that he should be awarded the peace prize, an honour previously bestowed on one of his presidential predecessors Barack Obama in 2009 for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples In July, Trump reportedly called Jens Stoltenberg, Norways finance minister and the former Nato secretary general, to ask about the Nobel prize. At the UN last month Trump falsely claimed that he had halted seven unendable wars, telling world leaders 'Everyone says I should get the Nobel peace prize'..... ![]() The Norwegian Nobel Committee Has Decided to Award The Nobel Peace Prize for 2025 to Maria Corina Machado We awarded her the Nobel prize for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy. The Norwegian Nobel Peace Prize Committee 9 OCT 2025 ![]() The Nobel Peace Prize for 2025 goes to a brave and committed champion of peace to a woman who keeps the flame of democracy burning amid a growing darkness. ![]() ![]() The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2025 to Maria Corina Machado. She is receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy. As the leader of the democracy movement in Venezuela, Maria Corina Machado is one of the most extraordinary examples of civilian courage in Latin America in recent times. Ms Machado has been a key, unifying figure in a political opposition that was once deeply divided an opposition that found common ground in the demand for free elections and representative government. This is precisely what lies at the heart of democracy, our shared willingness to defend the principles of popular rule, even though we disagree. At a time when democracy is under threat, it is more important than ever to defend this common ground Venezuela has evolved from a relatively democratic and prosperous country to a brutal, authoritarian state that is now suffering a humanitarian and economic crisis. Most Venezuelans live in deep poverty, even as the few at the top enrich themselves The violent machinery of the state is directed against the countrys own citizens. Nearly 8 million people have left the country. The opposition has been systematically suppressed by means of election rigging, legal prosecution and imprisonment. Venezuelas authoritarian regime makes political work extremely difficult. As a founder of Sumate, an organisation devoted to democratic development, Ms Machado stood up for free and fair elections more than 20 years ago. As she said 'It was a choice of ballots over bullets' In political office and in her service to organisations since then, Ms Machado has spoken out for judicial independence, human rights and popular representation. She has spent years working for the freedom of the Venezuelan people. Ahead of the election of 2024, Ms Machado was the oppositions presidential candidate, but the regime blocked her candidacy. She then backed the representative of a different party, Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, in the election. Hundreds of thousands of volunteers mobilised across political divides. They were trained as election observers to ensure a transparent and fair election. Despite the risk of harassment, arrest and torture, citizens across the country held watch over the polling stations. They made sure the final tallies were documented before the regime could destroy ballots and lie about the outcome. ![]() The efforts of the collective opposition, both before and during the election, were innovative and brave, peaceful and democratic. The opposition received international support when its leaders publicised the vote counts that had been collected from the countrys election districts, showing that the opposition had won by a clear margin. But the regime refused to accept the election result, and clung to power. Democracy is a precondition for lasting peace. However, we live in a world where democracy is in retreat, where more and more authoritarian regimes are challenging norms and resorting to violence. The Venezuelan regimes rigid hold on power and its repression of the population are not unique in the world. We see the same trends globally: rule of law abused by those in control, free media silenced, critics imprisoned, and societies pushed towards authoritarian rule and militarisation. In 2024, more elections were held than ever before, but fewer and fewer are free and fair. In its long history, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has honoured brave women and men who have stood up to repression, who have carried the hope of freedom in prison cells, on the streets and in public squares, and who have shown by their actions that peaceful resistance can change the world. In the past year, Ms Machado has been forced to live in hiding. Despite serious threats against her life she has remained in the country, a choice that has inspired millions of people When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognise courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist. Democracy depends on people who refuse to stay silent, who dare to step forward despite grave risk, and who remind us that freedom must never be taken for granted, but must always be defended with words, with courage and with determination. Maria Corina Machado meets all THREE criteria stated in Alfred Nobels will for the selection of a Peace Prize laureate. She has brought her countrys opposition together. She has never wavered in resisting the militarisation of Venezuelan society. She has been steadfast in her support for a peaceful transition to democracy ![]() Maria Corina Machado has shown that the tools of democracy are also the tools of peace. She embodies the hope of a different future, one where the fundamental rights of citizens are protected, and their voices are heard. In this future, people will finally be free to live in peace ![]() In Trumps world THAT is NOT happening |
