The Czech writer Milan Kundera, b. Apr. 1, 1929, has lived in France since 1975, persuaded to self-exile by the censoring or suppression of his work by the government of his native country. Kundera has long denied any political motivation in his writings, however. His work is always humorous, skeptical, and fundamentally pessimistic in describing the universal human condition, whether under Communism or elsewhere. The Book of Laughter and Forgetting (1979; Eng. trans., 1980) is his most celebrated novel. Other highly regarded works include The Joke (1967; Eng. trans., 1982); Laughable Loves, a collection of short stories originally published in the 1960s (Eng. trans., 1974); Life Is Elsewhere (1969; Eng. trans., 1974); and The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1984; Eng. trans., 1984). In The Art of the Novel (1988), a collection of essays, Kundera repeats his conviction that the novel must be "autonomous," created independent of any system of political belief.
Milan Kundera's new collection of essays is a passionate defence of art in an era that, he argues, no longer values art or beauty. With the same dazzling mix of emotion and idea that characterises his novels he illuminates the art and artists who remain important to him and whose work helps us better understand the world. An astute and brilliant reader of fiction, Kundera applies these same gifts to the reading of Francis Bacon's paintings, Leoš Janáček's music, the film of Federico Fellini, as well as to the novels of Philip Roth, Dostoevsky and Gabriel García Márquez, among others. He also takes up challenge of restoring to their rightful place the works of major writers such as Anatole France and Curzio Malaparte whohae fallen into obscurity.
Milan Kundera's signature themes of memory and forgetting , the expericence of exile, and his spirited championing of modernist art mark these essays. Art, he argues, is what we have to cleave to in the face of evil, against the expression of the darker side of human nature. Elegant, startlingly original and provocative, "Encounter" follows Kundera's essay Collections, "The Art of the Nove;", "Testaments Betrayed" and "The Curtain"
昆德拉的私人美学名单 顾文豪 刊于2010年8月14日《新京报》 “当一个艺术家谈起另一个艺术家,他谈的其实始终是自己(间接地或拐弯抹角地),他的判准也在此表现出来”,米兰•昆德拉在一篇论析画家培根的文字中如此说道。是的,很多时候,艺术家谈自己、说艺术往往瞻前顾...
评分 评分这是我读昆德拉最轻松的一本书,因为每篇的字数少。但其实它很沉重,时常把我的心沉到湖里。 表面看上去它是评论集,但其实我觉得却是昆德拉的自述或说心灵史。在他评述同好时,他的历史跃然于纸。我真是非常迷恋那段苦难史,就像曾经亲历,那些苦难的文人于苦难中奉献了那么多...
评分這本米蘭昆德拉的散文. 以人物為主題. 談繪畫. 談文學. 談音樂. 談詩歌. 談歷史. 談政治... 相較於他過去的小說. 這類散文式的文本似少了些美學上的動人姿態. 但卻更直接而完整地呈現出真正的昆德拉面貌.... 也可以說. 這本書是他一種智性與感性的現場展演.... 他總是能以那獨...
