War And War by László Krasznahorkai
An isolated, obsessive translator and scholar becomes consumed by the conviction that language can somehow preserve or redeem a collapsing world; convinced his work must be saved, he compiles and pursues the transmission of a vast, urgent manuscript, uprooting himself from his quiet life and traveling to America to deposit the work in a distant library, all the while haunted by paranoia, apocalyptic visions and the ethical weight of bearing witness to human ruin.
