The great Milan Kundera is dead. The Franco-Czech cosmopolitan of 20th century writers died at the age of 94. More about the author:

His most important works:

  1. The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1984): Milan Kundera’s most successful book about the tragic love between Tomas and Teresa.

  2. Farewell Waltz (1970/71): The novel describes several love relationships and is one of Schacherreiter’s best works in terms of aesthetics.

  3. Ignorance (2000): The focus is on the emigrant Irena, representative of the problem area: made homeless in the old homeland and never really settled in the new one

  4. The Book of Ridiculous Love (1970): Kundera ruthlessly explores the age-old myth of love.

  5. The Book of Laughter and Forgetting (1978): Kundera’s first publication after emigration, thematically complex, narratively interesting.
