Immortality by Milan Kundera

Author: Milan Kundera

Milan Kundera’s sixth novel springs from a casual gesture of a woman to her swimming instructor, a gesture that cre-ates a character in the mind of a writer named Kundera. Like Flaubert’s Emma or Tolstoy’s Anna, Kundera’s Agnès becomes an object of fascination, of indefinable longing. From that character springs a novel, a gesture of the imagination that both embodies and articulates Milan Kundera’s supreme mastery of the novel and its purpose: to explore thoroughly the great themes of existence.

One of 3 books I would take to a desert island. A beautiful discussion on the nature of our legacy, what we decide to leave or not leave when we die. How that changes in time and how we can not do anything about it. Especially relevant to artists and writers. Delves into the nature of love and families while he is at it. It would take a life time to discuss this book. Shelly                                                                                                     rated it: 5.0 from 5.0

Super book!! Not easy to take it all in with one read. I’ll put this on my bookshelf and read it again ten years from now. Some moments which make you put the book down and ponder what you have just read.
