"لم يكن يعيش حياته ، بل كان ينامها ، وكان في هذه الحياة النائمة يقفز من حلم الى آخر . "
حبّيت كيف ان الكاتب (رجل) لكنه قدر انه يكتب ويوصف ويحاول يفهم ويحلل بعمق وموضوعية شخصية الأم (الانثى). الى الان ما شفت هذا الشي عند اي كاتب آخر .
قراءة أولى لكونديرا وماراح تكون الاخيرة ♥️
"لقد عثر على جماعة من الناس لا يعدّ بينهم ابن امه أو تلميذاً من تلاميذ صفه فحسب، بل صار هو نفسه. وخطر له ان الانسان لا يكون نفسه تماماً الا حين يكون بين الاخرين."

To live or watch life through the eyes of others. A fury against and a reconciliation with poets

Další skvělý Kunderův román o životě básníka, mateřské lásce, o ovlivnění života i tvorby básníků socialismem. Kniha obsahuje spoustu krásných i zajímavých myšlenek. Možná je zvláštní, že se mi celý příběh líbil i přesto, že jsem ani s jednou z hlavních postav (Jaromilem a maminkou) příliš nesympatizovala. Líbilo se mi Xavierovo cestování mezi sny.

bel45's review against another edition
the misogyny and Oedipus complexes made this one a bit of a slog for me. the fact that it was a satire, and the insufferable men were usually the butt of the joke was somewhat redemptive. the parody of the self-aggrandizement of artists was particularly amusing, and tragic.

I basically think that everything Kundera touches (writes?) is gold. This wouldn't be a favorite Kundera book for me though because I despised all the characters. I think that if anything, it's probably more challenging to write such a good novel with only a sort of anti-hero... no sympathetic characters. But it was trying to spend time with them.

Vintage Kundera. As always in depth on the human condition and troubles of communism. Although perhaps a bit too meta.
