Description
In this profound novel, a young man's life is irrevocably altered by a single, politically charged joke. Driven by a desire for revenge, he embarks on a complex and ultimately tragic quest that unravels the lives of everyone he encounters. Milan Kundera masterfully explores themes of love, betrayal, memory, and the absurdities of political and personal freedom. This revised translation offers a powerful and intimate look at the enduring human condition, rendered in Kundera's signature blend of wit and philosophical depth.
