Synopsis "life is elsewhere (in English)"

The author initially intended to call this novel The Lyrical Age. The lyrical age, according to Kundera, is youth, and this novel, above all, is an epic of adolescence; an ironic epic that tenderly erodes sacrosanct values: childhood, motherhood, revolution, and even poetry. Jaromil is in fact a poet. His mother made him a poet and accompanies him (figuratively) to his love bed and (literally) to his deathbed. A ridiculous and touching character, horrifying and totally innocent ("innocence with its bloody smile"!), Jaromil is at the same time a true poet. He's no creep, he's Rimbaud. Rimbaud entrapped by the communist revolution, entrapped in a somber farce.

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.
