Every novelist's work contains an implicit vision of the history of the novel, an idea of what the novel is. I have tried to express here the idea of the novel that is inherent in my own novels.
-- Milan Kundera Kundera brilliantly examines the work of such important and diverse figures as Rabelais, Cervantes, Sterne, Diderot, Flaubert, Tolstoy, and Musil. He is especially penetrating on Hermann Broch, and his exploration of the world of Kafka's novels vividly reveals the comic terror of Kafka's bureaucratized universe. Kundera's discussion of his own work includes his views on the role of historical events in fiction, the meaning of action, and the creation of character in the post-psychological novel.
##Writing novels is an art that unfolds the meaning of life in a seemingly insouciant world. Great novels surpass time and transmit the weight of history to the following generation. Though the term polyphony is not unfamiliar in literary studies, I am still amazed to see how Kundera faithfully structures his novel based on the composition of music.

评分##3.5 正统、严肃、博学、自信,昆德拉自封为三百年les temps modernes的继承者。喜欢他写的故事,喜欢他的理论,但不太喜欢他,a huge halo deceptively unaware of itself。也许是因为,作为一个小人物,与一个历史传承者生活在同一个时代而感到别扭吧,没法打心底认同这种legitimacy。
评分##时而引人发笑,时而令人深思。希望自己有朝一日也能感受一下昆德拉如牧羊人一般追逐译者的烦恼。
评分##It’s like watching a genius flexing his talent. The genius bit is so enticing, the flexing (the assertive and deliberately provocative) bit not so much but still quite bearable due to his genius. 最有趣的是,一年前读昆德拉的时候就觉得他不会喜欢Orwell,即使他们都把苏联当作死敌;这一点上得到确证让我好快活。
评分##亲切
评分##Ultra high precision as a sushi knife... The outcome is irresistable urge to meet Kundera. Long live Kundera...
评分##Concentrated. Lucid. If I'd read the book in my undergraduate study, I might have been a literature graduate. As great as Noam Chomsky's Syntactic Structure and George Lakoff's Metaphors We live By.
评分##很有意思诶 昆德拉对小说的很多思考和评价对我来说还是很新颖的 而且读完以后有一种豁然开朗的感觉
