About the author

Milan Kundera

150 books19.2k followers
Milan Kundera (1 April 1929 – 11 July 2023) was a Czech and French novelist. He went into exile in France in 1975, acquiring citizenship in 1981. His Czechoslovak citizenship was revoked in 1979, but he was granted Czech citizenship in 2019.

Kundera wrote in Czech and French. He revises the French translations of all his books; people therefore consider these original works as not translations. He is best known for his novels, including The Joke (1967), The Book of Laughter and Forgetting (1979), and The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1984), all of which exhibit his extreme though often comical skepticism.

Ein Buch, das mich seit meiner Jugend begleitet.
Kundera schreibt in Essays, die sich nicht an eine Chronologie halten – Gedanken, die sich kreuzen, widersprechen und wiederfinden.
Es geht um Liebe, Verrat und den Widerstand ohne Gewalt,
um das Menschliche zwischen Gefühl und Gewissen.
Seine Worte erinnern mich daran, dass Sanftheit kein Zeichen von Schwäche ist
und dass Leichtigkeit manchmal die größte Form von Stärke sein kann.
