Synopsis "encounter,essays (in English)"

"Cultivated, worldly, charming and spirited...Kundera's values are sane and humane; his impulses generous; his taste, overall, unimpeachable." - Phillip Lopate, San Francisco ChronicleEncounter is the latest addition to the acclaimed body of literary criticism from beloved author Milan Kundera (The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting). Novelist Russell Banks writes, "Not since Henry James, perhaps, has a fiction writer examined the process of writing with such insight, authority, and range of reference and allusion." In Encounter, Kundera brilliantly reflects on some of his signature themes and old loves (Rabelais, Fellini, Janacek, Malaparte), on literature, on morality, and on the transformation of civilization as we know it.

Milan Kundera (/'mɪlan 'kundɛra/ Brno, 1 de abril de 1929-París, 11 de julio de 2023)​ fue un novelista, escritor de cuentos cortos, dramaturgo, ensayista y poeta checo.​ Desde 1975 residió con su esposa en Francia, cuya ciudadanía adquirió en 1987.

La obra más conocida de Kundera es La insoportable levedad del ser. Antes de la Revolución de Terciopelo de 1989, el régimen comunista de Checoslovaquia prohibió sus libros. Llevó una vida de bajo perfil y rara vez hablaba con los medios. Se pensaba que era un candidato para el Premio Nobel de Literatura y también fue nominado para otros premios.

Recibió el Premio Jerusalén de 1985, el Premio Austriaco de Literatura Europea en 1987 y el Premio Herder de 2000. En 2021, recibió la Orden al Mérito de manos del presidente de Eslovenia.
