Loading... Immortality (1990)by Milan Kundera
Pretty much everything Milan Kundera ever wrote is brilliant but this is one of my absolute favorites. There is so much in here to take away about human identity and as usual such richness of story. Like many of his books, perhaps meant to be read again and again throughout one's lifetime. ( )Kundera's second strongest book after ULofB, this is a natural follow-up to those under the spell of Kundera. מייגע למדי It starts off beautifully. The narrator is poolside, watching an older woman make a playful, girlish, and even flirty gesture to her swim instructor as she is leaving. Watching her act so young, so unaware of her actual age prompts the narrator to ponder ageism and what it would mean to be truly ageless. From there the novel meanders through fact and fiction, weaving real historical figures like Goethe and Hemingway with fictional ones like the woman from the pool, Agnes. Kundera's writing breaks boundaries because the style is a conversation with the reader, a philosophical journey through topics like relationships, sex and of course, immortality. הספר הטוב ביותר של קונדרה עד היום (או על כל פנים זה שגרם לי הכי הרבה להזדהות אתו).סיפור קטן ועצוב על שתי אחיות, מלא הפסקות והרהורים על העולם ועל הרומן. אלגיה ליופי ולאמת שהולכים ונעלמים ומוחלפים על יד no reviews | add a review Is contained in
