Farewell Kundera.. life will never regenerate a great novelist like you
I read his the unbearable lightness of being .he is genious ,you will stay alive for everything you did against totalitarianism and dectatorship
Rip Milan Kundera, you will be missed
"Actually, he had always preferred the unreal to the real. Just as he felt better at demonstrations (which, as I have pointed out, are all playacting and dreams) than in a lecture hall full of students, so he was happier with Sabina the invisible goddess than the Sabina who had accompanied him throughout the world and whose love he constantly feared losing.”
- The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Milan Kundera
My hear aches.
I will pray for him
☆☆☆• RIP Mr. Milan Kundera. ☆☆☆•I remember!♡♡☆• deb out!♡•○
¡Gracias por todo, Milan Kundera! ... Gracias por todas las respuestas q encontré en tus palabras.
r.i.p. Maestro. you have become Immortal now.
And what can life be worth if the first rehearsal for life is life itself?
I agree
"The Joke"
Or " The Book Of laughter And Forgetting" are my top picks.
An excellent talent. Every novel a masterpiece. You will be missed.
Rest in peace. It’s an unbearable loss of a thinker.
He wasn’t a thinker.He was conformist.Dvoracek spend 14 years in jail coz’ of him. Great writer but scam
RIP Kundera adelantado a su tiempo >

Goodbye, Kun. Thanks so much for giving me the way to be a true novelist. You'll be missed.
Words of poets that lived thru20century and 21century what the eyes have seen thru time
He stood against communism, fascism and totalitarianism. Thank you, Mr. Kundera. Thank you for everything you did for Europe and the world.
*RIP FROM INDIA*
The joke is my favorite!!
Thank you, Kundera.
rest in peace.
He was influenced by Robert Musil and Nietzsche. At least, unlike Musil, Milan Kundera was a talented writer. There is nothing unique about the influence of Nietzsche (all the major writers of 20th century were influenced by him). I have only read his Unbearable Lightness of Being, along with his essay on the composer Iannis Xenakis so far. I may seek out more of his works.
Great writer.
mon amour!

👡👞👠 I read Milan Kundera's book "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" then saw the movie, hoping that it would enlighten the meaning of life in some way like the unique title. But, unfortunately, actual plot lines were thin, pedestrian and boring, more commonplace than transcendent. I didn't think it deserved all the international accolades and seemed rather arty and pretentious. To me, it remains the perfect example of how a great title can sell a book and convince you that it's deeper and more meaningful than it actually is. Maybe kinda like the author...
You really need to reread it, or try some of his other books. That or look up what “pretentious” means again, as he was anything but.
Rip. Dvoracek spend 14 years in jail because of him. That is his legacy.
