The book of laughter and forgetting

Mehr zum Buch

Analyzes and examines various aspects of human existence through seven integrated stories. Rich in its stories, character, and imaginative range, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting is the novel that brought Milan Kundera his first big international success in the late 1970's. Like all his work, it is valuable for far more than its historical implications. In seven wonderfully integrated parts, different aspects of human existence are magnified and reduced, reordered and emphasized, newly examined, analyzed, and experienced. This new translation, approved by the author, gives fresh luster to this great work.
