Beschreibung
Only the great art of the novel is capable of tearing aside, for a moment, the curtain of prejudices and pre-interpretations with which we decipher not only our lives but the entire history of humanity. Moreover, perhaps the novel is the last observatory that allows us to embrace human existence as a whole and cast 'a glance at the soul of things.' The novelist and essayist Milan Kundera invites us in The Curtain to participate in the secret dialogue maintained by the great names of the Western tradition. Some works illuminate others; writers discover unusual aspects in their predecessors, who in turn will inspire their successors in very diverse ways: Rabelais, Cervantes, Diderot, Fielding, Flaubert, Joyce, Kafka, García Márquez... The result is a small and particular literary 'pleiad' that Kundera shares with readers and an enlightening personal history of literature.
