De Witte Koning by György Dragomán
An eleven-year-old boy growing up under a repressive regime recounts how his family collapses after his father is taken by the secret police; through the child's imaginative games, naive logic and clipped observations he attempts to make sense of arbitrary bureaucracy, fear, poverty and small acts of endurance, offering a poignant, often darkly comic portrait of childhood and the human cost of authoritarian power.
