Capillária: Regény

by Frigyes Karinthy

"Capillária: Regény" by Frigyes Karinthy is a satirical novel published in 1921. Following the pattern of Swift's "Gulliver's Travels," this work plunges its protagonist into Capillária, an underwater kingdom where extreme gender dynamics rule. Gulliver encounters the oihák, towering female beings, and the bullok, diminutive fish-like males who serve as their food source. As he navigates this bizarre society's customs and politics, Gulliver discovers a world where emotion dominates over logic, and where conflict between the sexes seems eternally irreconcilable.
