Synopsis "slowness (in English)"

"Irresistible. . . . Slowness is an ode to sensuous leisure, to the enjoyment of pleasure rather than just the search for it." -- MirabellaMilan Kundera's lightest novel, a divertimento, an opera buffa, Slowness is also the first of this author's fictional works to have been written in French.Disconcerted and enchanted, the reader follows the narrator of Slowness through a midsummer's night in which two tales of seduction, separated by more than two hundred years, interweave and oscillate between the sublime and the comic. Underlying this libertine fantasy is a profound meditation on contemporary life: about the secret bond between slowness and memory, about the connection between our era's desire to forget and the way we have given ourselves over to the demon of speed. And about "dancers" possessed by the passion to be seen, for whom life is merely a perpetual show emptied of every intimacy and every joy.

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.
