Flies buzz, spiders weave, water drips and animals root desultorily in the barnyard of a collective farm. But when the charismatic Irimias - long-thought dead - returns, the villagers fall under his spell. Irimias sets about swindling the villagers out of a fortune that might allow them to escape the emptiness and futility of their existence. He soon attains a messianic aura as he plays on the fears of the townsfolk and a series of increasingly brutal events unfold.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Krasznahorkai, Laszlo, Szirtes, George, Mulzet, Ottilie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42465836302520,"sku":"9781788166355","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9781788166355.jpg?v=1734722666","url":"https:\/\/octoberbooks.org\/products\/9781788166355","provider":"October Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
