Product Details
Overview
La novela con la trama más brillante y entretenida de Milan Kundera.
En un balneario algo trasnochado convergen ocho personas cuyos actos se entretejen hasta formar una trama en la que todos acaban atrapados: el músico célebre y la hermosa enfermera que quiere quedarse embarazada; la celosa esposa del músico y el joven mecánico enamorado de la enfermera; el exconvicto que va a despedirse de su protegida Olga; el ginecólogo, con sus fanfarrones proyectos demográficos, y el rico excéntrico.
Con la aparente ligereza de un vals, esta novela oculta una pregunta más grave: ¿merece el hombre vivir en este mundo?
«Kundera es de los que arriesga en cada libro intentando siempre reavivar fuegos ingrávidos del pasado, reavivar rescoldos de libertad con el ejercicio lúdico de la literatura.» Enrique Vila-Matas, Revista de Libros
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The most brilliant and entertaining plot of Milan Kundera's novels.
In a somewhat outdated spa, eight people converge, their actions intertwining until they form a plot in which everyone ends up trapped: the famous musician and the beautiful nurse who wants to get pregnant; the musician's jealous wife and the young mechanic in love with the nurse; the ex-convict saying goodbye to his protégé Olga; the gynecologist with his boastful demographic projects, and the eccentric rich man.
With the apparent lightness of a waltz, this novel hides a more serious question: does man deserve to live in this world?
"Kundera is one of those who takes risks with each book, always trying to rekindle the weightless fires of the past, to revive the embers of freedom with the playful exercise of literature." Enrique Vila-Matas, Revista de Libros
