S ndor Szathm ri's comical novel chronicles the travels of a modern Gulliver on the eve of World War II. A shipwrecked English ship's surgeon finds himself on an unknown island whose inhabitants, the Hins, live in a technologically advanced existence without emotions, desires, arts, money or politics.

Reviews for Voyage to Kazohinia
"A page-turner for both the adult as well as the adolescent reader, Voyage to Kazohinia is a classic waiting to be discovered by every literate person. This newly translated and profoundly transformative novel ought to be taught in high schools and colleges across the English-speaking world. "
David Mandler, PhD, English Teacher at Stuyvesant High School, New York City "Massively entertaining! . . . Make room for the new Gulliver. He has brought home news out of Kazohinia."
Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked and Out of Oz “Written in 1935, Voyage to Kazohinia is a strikingly postmodern and open-ended dystopia that rightfully belongs among the twentieth-century classics of the genre. And it is unique in being less a strident political cautionary tale than it is a brilliantly mordant reflection on government, reason, and language.” —Carter Hanson, Associate Professor of English, Valparaiso University “[A] dystopian cult classic. . . . Gulliver washes up on the island of Kazohinia, which is populated by bizarre inhabitants . . . whose sense of morality and society force [him] to reconsider his own understanding of life, love, and death.” —Publishers Weekly “Highly entertaining. . . . Readers familiar with the classic Swift satire will find much to admire here, but those unfamiliar with Gulliver’s Travels should still have a good time.” —Booklist "A satire on our world of power politics... clever and inventive."
Allan Massie, The Wall Street Journal
