A refreshing essay-novel, rich in literary wisdom, from the internationally renowned author of "The Unbearable Lightness of Being". A masterpiece. In Kundera's unique essay, written in the form of a novel, our greatest novelists become characters who intersect repeatedly, shedding light on the great aesthetic questions of our time. Through their wise encounters, we explore the moral trials of twentieth-century civilization; the boundaries between past and present; the dawn of individualism; and the betrayed legacies of European art. Characteristically rich in revealing ideas for the era we live in, eloquently revealing how we have become what we are, this is a pivotal work by a legendary author and critic.
