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"

評分读过很多遍韩少功的《生命不能承受之轻》后,再读米兰·昆德拉的其他文字,凡看见女性,都有种不是特蕾萨就是萨宾娜的感觉,或者,凡看见男性,都有种托马斯的感觉,而阅读米兰·昆德拉这篇散文加随笔的书,便有些不能相遇的距离感。 已经不再年轻的米兰·昆德拉在这本《相遇...

評分前些日子读美国作家菲利普·罗斯与其他名作家的对谈录,其中对关于米兰·昆德拉的文字印象很深。罗斯的对谈中涉及到昆德拉的文字有两篇,一篇是对其本人,另外一篇是与同为捷克作家的伊凡·克里玛的对谈,说来奇怪,我对昆德拉的兴趣反而是源于克里玛谈起的印象和对照。在我的...
評分这本书我没法正常地去写评语,因为这是一本关于书评的书。而书里大部分介绍的都是我没读过的小说。 这是为我自己去记录那些有趣的段落写得书评。为了告诉我往后这些有趣的书是一定要去读一下。 关于幽默感的分析:面对一个如此严肃的主题,能够抵挡近乎无可避免的夸张词汇。因...
