A model of clarity, grace, and intelligence, François Ricard's book joins the great French tradition of the literary essay as a meditation on the writing of Milan Kundera.
Agnès's Final Afternoon imitates the protagonist of Kundera's novel Immortality on the last afternoon of her life. Like all readers of fiction, Agnès steps out of her car -- out of the world of planned routes, responsibilities, and social self -- and gives herself up to the discovery of a new landscape, an experience that will transform her. François Ricard's essay enters into the writings of Milan Kundera in much the same way. The landscape he explores includes a chain of ten novels, composed between 1959 and 1999, and two books containing one of the most lucid reflections on the novel.
From The Joke to Ignorance, Ricard uncovers the richness of theme and character in the novels, their structural composition, polyphony of voices, and innovations of form and subject matter that stretch the boundaries of the novel to a breaking point.
Readers need not be familiar with all of Milan Kundera's oeuvre to appreciate this unusual and original book. Agnès's Final Afternoon will inspire a sense of wonder and lead you to appreciate the beauty and profundity of Kundera's art.

評分先说翻译的问题。 其实看昆德拉的作品时,我大多看的是91年作家出版社的版本,不是现在这个上海译文出版社的。似乎91年的版是由英文翻译过来的,而英文译本曾被昆德拉本人大加赞扬过,并且我们知道我国的英文翻译水平,可以说是很高的,所以整个看下来感觉很好。但是《笑忘录》...
評分未知的变奏 入冬以来,我渐渐改变了午休的习惯,这几乎也成了我生物钟的一部分。冬天让我的思维更加清醒,更加悠长,更加缓慢,除了早晨的赖床,我不再对睡眠有那么强烈的渴求。我记得读高中时,一位老师曾经跟我们说过,冬天是最适合读书的季节。这话原本是用来鼓励我们好好备...
