Milan Kundera, born in Brno, Czechoslovakia, was a student when the Czech Communist regime was established in 1948, and later worked as a labourer, jazz musician and professor at the Institute for Advanced Cinematographic Studies in Prague. After the Russian invasion in August 1968, his books were proscribed. In 1975, he and his wife settled in France, and in 1981, he became a French citizen. He is the author of the novels The Joke, Life is Elsewhere, Farewell Waltz, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, and Immortality, and of the short-story collection Laughable Loves - all originally in Czech. His most recent novels, Slowness, Identity and Ignorance, as well as his non-fiction works The Art of the Novel and Testaments Betrayed, were originally written in French.

Synopsis: | It may be a new year but there is nothing new about Milan Kundera's shaggy 18th-century seduction story of love, revenge, deception and friendship. as they travel through France, Jacques (a servant) is always just about to tell his master (a not so bright young man whose fetish for women with big bottoms has led him to be rather unlucky in affairs of the heart) the complicated story of his own love life. But other stories keep getting in the way. every time Jacques begins his tale, other stories snake into the narrative, running in parallel and then taking precedence. - Gardner, Guardian | |||||
