From the internationally acclaimed, bestselling writer of The Unbearable Lightness to be, an urgent and enchanting novel—the culmination of his existence'

Casting light on the most severe of complications and at exactly the same time stating not one severe sentence;s work. Nothing at all. Readers who understand Milan Kundera’s earlier books understand that the desire to incorporate some the “unserious” in a novel is not very unexpected of him. Unusual type of epilogue. And in Slowness, Vera, the writer’s wife, says to her hubby: “you’ve often explained you designed to write a publication 1 day that would possess not really a single serious term in it…I warn you: look out. Simply examine.”

Now, definately not watching away, Kundera is finally and fully realizing his older aesthetic desire in this novel that people could easily watch as a summation of his entire work.

Unusual sort of laughter, influenced by our period, which is comical since it has dropped all love of life.

Your enemies are lying in wait around.
