Description
The famous Czech writer in a personal portrait by French journalist Florence Noiville met Milan Kundera only in his mature age — at a time when he had long avoided the media, allowing only his work to speak for him, and enjoyed the world as an attentive observer and thoughtful companion. During visits to the writer's home, meetings in cafes, and shared dinners, through the stories of his wife Vera and his friends, as well as while reading his books, a changing image of Milan Kundera emerged before the author: each new detail from his work, nostalgic pause, or unexpected remark illuminated him from a different angle, highlighting his intricate life and complex artistic legacy. In the flow of memories, literary excursions, historical context, photographs, and reflections, a multi-layered literary portrait of an exceptional person arises before the reader, in which Florence Noiville attempts to capture his legacy and reflection — through writing. "What a ridiculous idea!" Milan Kundera himself commented on it.
