Die Langsamkeit Die Langsamkeit
Автор: Жанр: Fischer Год: 2014 Страниц: 147 Дата загрузки: 11 августа 2016
   Der Schriftsteller Milan und seine Frau Vera ziehen sich für eine Nacht auf ein französisches Landschloss zurück. Sie suchen Ruhe, treffen aber stattdessen auf die extravaganten Forscher eines Fliegenkongresses. Ganz anders ergeht es dem jungen Adligen aus dem 18. Jahrhundert, der genug Muße hat, sich genau in demselben Schloss mit Madame de T. erotischen Spielen hinzugeben. Zwei Paare, zweihundert Jahre voneinander getrennt, suchen dasselbe und finden ganz Unterschiedliches. Ein amüsantes Hohelied auf die Kunst der Verführung und die Langsamkeit — ein meisterhaft komponierter Roman.
 
The Joke The Joke
Автор: Жанр: Faber and Faber Год: 2000 Страниц: 336 Дата загрузки: 10 декабря 2009
   All too often, this brilliant novel of thwarted love and revenge miscarried has been read for its political implications. Now, a quarter century after The Joke was first published and several years after the collapse of the Soviet-imposed Czechoslovak regime, it becomes easier to put such implications into perspective in favor of valuing the book (and all Kundera's work) as what it truly is: great, stirring literature that sheds new light on the eternal themes of human existence. The present edition provides English-language readers an important further means toward revaluation of The Joke. For reasons he describes in his Author's Note, Milan Kundera devoted much time to creating (with the assistance of his American publisher-editor) a completely revised translation that reflects his original as closely as any translation possibly can: reflects it in its fidelity not only to the words and syntax but also to the characteristic dictions and tonalities of the novel's narrators. The result is nothing less than the restoration of a classic.
 
Slowness Slowness
Автор: Жанр: Faber and Faber Год: 1997 Страниц: 144 Дата загрузки: 18 марта 2009
   After the gravity of The Unbearable Lightness of Being and Immortality, Slowness comes as a surprise: It is certainly Kundera's lightest novel, a divertimento, an opera buffa, with, as the author himself says, not a single serious word in it; then, too, it is the first of his novels to have been written in French (in the eyes of the French public, turning him definitively into a French writer). Disconcerted and enchanted, the reader follows the narrator of Slowness through a midsummer's night in which two tales of seduction, separated by more than 200 years, interweave and oscillate between the sublime and the comic. In the 18th-century narrative, the marvelous Madame de T. summons a young nobleman to her chbteau one evening and gives him an unforgettable lesson in the art of seduction and the pleasures of love. In the same chbteau at the end of the 20th century, a hapless young intellectual experiences a rather less successful night. Distracted by his desire to be the center of public attention at a convention of entomologists, Vincent loses the beautiful Julie — ready and willing though she is to share an evening of intimacy and sexual pleasure with him — and suffers the ridicule of his peers. A morning-after encounter between the two young men from different centuries brings the novel to a poignant close: Vincent has already obliterated the memory of his humiliation as he prepares to speed back to Paris on his motorcycle, while the young nobleman will lie back on the cushions of his carriage and relive the night before in the lingering pleasure of memory. Underlying this libertine fantasy is a profound meditation on contemporary life: about thesecret bond between slowness and memory, about the connection between our era's desire to forget and the way we have given ourselves over to the demon of speed. And about dancers possessed by the passion to be seen, for whom life is merely a perpetual show emptied of every intimacy and every joy. Irresistible... Slowness is an ode to sensuous leisure, to the enjoyment of pleasure rather than just the search for it. Cathleen Schine, Mirabella Audacity, wit, and sheer brilliance. New York Times Book Review Paradoxically, Slowness... is the fastest paced of Kundera's novels as well as the most accessible.
