Olive Torres is used to being the unlucky twin: from inexplicable mishaps to a recent layoff, her life seems to be almost comically jinxed.

Five years have passed since Nancy Williams walked out of the elite walls of St. Eliott High School with a tearful face, leaving Christopher Burns behind.

Since then, she has reconciled with her mother, started university and even been given a happy relationship. She has overcome her turbulent emotions and created a life for herself that offers her peace and security. She considers it a mockery of Fate when, thanks to a tragedy, she is forced to reunite with the unforgettable person of Christopher Burns, and it is just icing on the cake that the man brings with him the kind of chaos and seductive lips that he enjoys destroying Nancy's well-built life.

As she becomes entangled again in the web of their fiery relationship, the ground slips from under her feet - but in vain. Because the wildfire burns unquenchably, and every kiss pours fuel on the flames

Translated title: The Security of the Hungarian Nation

Author: Lászlo, Krasznahorkai

Genre: Social Novel

Year: 2025 | Pages: 170 | Origin: HUN | BA Seq Num: 91684

Every butterfly is a moth, but not every moth is a butterfly. All this is revealed in László Krasznahorkai's new book, as well as other important information about the life and death of butterflies. And also how one of the main characters of our novel decides in childhood that he will search for and research butterflies throughout his life.

And why will it be important for the other main character of the novel, an elderly man who soon reveals his identity, to get to know the expert butterfly scientist and ask him, apart from butterflies, what is the most important question in life?

How do the two main characters come close to each other, and how do they become indispensable to each other? So then, The Security of the Hungarian Nation is a novel about a special friendship? That is. The announcement of a farewell? Yes. The unsolvable trap of the origin of life? Yes. Butterflies fly and words rush to fall into the web of characteristic Krasznahorkai sentences: about the happiness of private passions, the reality of the brutal outside world, the laws of natural existence; about the only universe in which butterflies, man, failure and that which can lift us up, condense into a single point
