We are delighted to congratulate László Krasznahorkai on being awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Literature. Krasznahorkai’s novels — known for their dense, philosophical prose and haunting atmosphere — have long been celebrated by readers and critics alike. With this honour, his work receives the global recognition it so deeply deserves.
The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2025 is awarded to the Hungarian author László Krasznahorkai, ‘for his compelling and visionary oeuvre that, in the midst of apocalyptic terror, reaffirms the power of art’.
