KarinthyUtazás Faremidóba
Hungarian · Frigyes Karinthy
Gulliver’s fifth voyage — to a world of singing machines.
The opening, set exactly as it reads in the app.
In 1916, with Europe tearing itself apart, Karinthy sent Gulliver on a fifth voyage — to Faremido, a world of serene machines who speak in music and regard organic life as a disease. The satire cuts exactly where a war year should cut: at the pride of a species busy proving the machines right. It is short, swift, and startlingly modern — a book about artificial minds written a century early — and its Hungarian sings. We are translating it whole: the guided edition here, and the first new English translation in a century between covers.
Beyond the edition.

Read. Listen. Understand. Speak.
