 Milan Kundera's sixth novel springs from a casual gesture of a woman to her swimming instructor, a gesture that creates a character in the mind of a writer named Kundera. Like Flaubert's Emma or Tolstoy's Anna, Kundera's Agnes 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. "Brilliantly mordant...beautifully translated...strong and mesmerizing. " --New York Times "ingenious, witty, provocative, and formidably intelligent, both a pleasure and a challenge to the reader. " --Washington Post Book World Paperback 368 pages - 5" x 8" - (11/99)
