World goes on (Profile Books)

A Hungarian interpreter at the edge of the abyss in his own mind, wanders the chaotic streets of Shanghai. A traveller encounters a giant of a man on the banks of the Ganges ranting on the nature of a single drop of water. A child labourer wanders off from work one day into a surreal realm utterly alien from his daily toils. From the winner of the Man Booker International Prize.
