This breathtaking, reverberating survey of human nature finds Kundera still attempting to work out the meaning of life without losing his acute sense of humour. It is one of those great unclassifiable masterpieces that appear once every twenty years or so.

'It will make you cleverer, maybe even a better lover. Not many novels can do that.' Nicholas Lezard, GQ

About the author

Milan Kundera

218books18.4kfollowers
Milan Kundera (1 April 1929 鈥� 11 July 2023) was a Czech and French novelist. He went into exile in France in 1975, acquiring citizenship in 1981. His Czechoslovak citizenship was revoked in 1979, but he was granted Czech citizenship in 2019.

Kundera wrote in Czech and French. He revises the French translations of all his books; people therefore consider these original works as not translations. He is best known for his novels, including The Joke (1967), The Book of Laughter and Forgetting (1979), and The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1984), all of which exhibit his extreme though often comical skepticism.

To become engaged within the first few pages of a book is always a good sign. However, at the back of my mind, history kept telling me that many other novels have started out in the stratosphere only to plummet to the bottom of the ocean. Milan Kundera's 'Immortality', starts great, gets better, and ended with a lump in my throat, and a soul that was struck by a chord. No actually, forget the single chord, this was more like an Orchestra going in full swing. Kundera has worked wonders here.

Witnessing a playful, sexual, yet sweet physical gesture of a woman by the swimming pool, begins. Kundera weaves a story around this starting gesture. Slowly introducing other characters that are part of her life and compares her life in the 20th century with another one a century earlier. It is an interesting perspective on what immortality is. What do people remember you for? is it what you have achieved?, or maybe just solely based on the perception that others have of you? Are you remembered only by your loved ones, or are you revered or scorned by the entire world? These are questions that will definitely get you thinking, and thinking plays an integral part in Immortality, as the words on each and every page only go so far, as Kundera puts the emphasis on the reader to sit comfy, and give his or hers full attention. (Tried reading on the metro, forget it), this is a book that pays off reading in seclusion as much as possible. In a skillful way, new characters silently crawl out of the woodwork, leaving you hanging, only to be bought up randomly somewhere else in some other context. This does keep you engrossed, it does also become a pain, but a pain worth putting with.

Empathy is slowly drawn into the picture, as characters are slowly woven in an intermittently way,
that it strangely sexual and often quite perplexing. Kundera's characters acquire psychologies and histories, but they start out and continue to function chiefly as images, provocations: a man staring at a wall, or repeating a phrase; a woman arguing, putting on her glasses, shaking her head; a girl sitting in the middle of a major road amidst rushing traffic. These images are not illustrations of pre-formed thoughts, but they are not simply pieces of novelistic behaviour either. They are meetings between persons and notions, or more precisely, written, re-created, invented records of such meetings. He is clearly a most confident writer, I mean, Goethe & Hemingway in conversation?, Genius!.

There are some beautifully written passages of writing, likened to a philosophical voyage into Paradise, and there IS a wonderfully elegant and provocative story lurking under, indicating a second read may help untangle the knots of uncertainty, as Kundera teases the reader with provocations and paradoxes that require some deep pondering. This is a book without conclusion, there really isn't a beginning, middle or end.

After the closing pages, I was left moved, awestruck, and slightly mentally exhausted.

Nesmrtelnost = Immortality, Milan Kundera

Immortality is a novel in seven parts, written by Milan Kundera in 1988 in Czech. First published 1990 in French. English edition 345 p., translation by Peter Kussi.

This novel springs from a casual gesture of a woman, seemingly to her swimming instructor. Immortality is the last of a trilogy that includes The Book Of Laughter And Forgetting, and The Unbearable Lightness Of Being.

On one level you could reduce this novel to the sour grapes of a man who鈥檚 getting old and losing his privileged place in the world. Not that this belittles its aspiration or wisdom because how the self changes with age, how the declining fa莽ade impacts the core, is a fascinating and rich subject. Kundera suggests the self doesn鈥檛 significantly change from within but rather is bullied out of its natural gait by the way people see us, by the images they impose on us. Even we ourselves are constrained to represent our lives with isolated images because memory, he tells us, is incapable of retaining anything but snapshots of time, isolated frames which no effort of will can restore to a detailed and continuous home movie. We are confined to the snapshots memory selects to preserve. And ultimately, in death, we become how people remember us. We become a series of snapshots, an image.

At the time of writing this novel Kundera was pretty much guaranteed immortality. He鈥檚 earned his place among the immortals of literature. Understandable then that he should ponder what form this immortality will take. In one episode he has Goethe and Hemingway discuss their posthumous lives. Hemingway is unhappy that his books have become eclipsed by the innumerable biographies of his life. There鈥檚 also a fabulous section about Goethe鈥檚 relationship with a young girl called Bettina. To Goethe Bettina appears nothing but an episode. Little does he know that this largely inconsequential girl will become one of the editors of his posthumous life.

"No episode is a priori condemned to remain an episode forever, for every event, no matter how trivial, conceals within itself the possibility of sooner or later becoming the cause of other events and thus changing into a story or an adventure. Episodes are like land mines. The majority of them never explode, but the most unremarkable of them may someday turn into a story that will prove fateful to you." This quote is perhaps the underlying mantra of this novel. It鈥檚 a novel of philosophical episodes which playfully mocks the conventions of the novel. "Dramatic tension is the real curse of the novel, because it transforms everything, even the most beautiful pages, even the most surprising scenes and observations merely into steps leading to the final resolution, in which the meaning of everything that preceded is concentrated." Towards the end of Immortality Milan Kundera is sitting by the same swimming pool which opens the novel with two of his characters. He is surprised these two characters know each other.

Perhaps one test of a masterpiece is that it should improve on a second reading. I really enjoyed this but I didn鈥檛 quite love it as much as I did when I first read it. Some elements seemed dated, like his obsessive whining about noise pollution. Guitars and motorbikes especially cited as enemies of civilised life. We now face much worse forms of pollution and his singling out of urban noise levels made him appear a grumpy old man at times. Also some of his views on sex were those of an ageing womaniser who still can鈥檛 help seeing women almost exclusively through his libido. As his starting point Kundera shows us an elderly woman performing an alluring gesture she had used as a young girl. He finds the gesture 鈥渃harming鈥� but for him it鈥檚 only the gesture that has charm and elegance 鈥渨hile the body and face no longer had any charm. It was the charm of a gesture drowning in the charmlessness of the body.鈥� This of course is the viewpoint of a sexually predatory male. Elderly women for most of us are no less capable of performing charming gestures than anyone else. Some of the most beautiful and haunting gestures I have seen have been performed by elderly people. Ironically Kundera鈥檚 posthumous life might be influenced in part by these kind of observations of his. He too, like Hemingway, might be complaining to Goethe in an afterlife that he has been misrepresented by biographies.

This is a great book and I wish I had discovered it years ago, when it was translated from Czech in 1991. I liked it much more than the author's more famous book, The Unbearable Lightness of Being.

A blurb says the book thoroughly explores 鈥渢he great themes of existence鈥� which is quite a task to pull off in 345 pages, but Kundera makes quite a dent in those themes.

Where to start? There is a story: a couple has a daughter; the wife dies, and eventually the man marries his dead wife鈥檚 sister. That鈥檚 pretty much the plot. But as this story is told, the author compares the traits of the main characters and their attitudes toward life. For example, his first wife is serious, organized and not much fun. The younger sister is reckless, impulsive, at time suicidal, and has a series of affairs with men. The man is hard-working, reflective, and bit baffled by life.

Kundera speculates on philosophical themes around this simple story. He writes about gestures as memes. He explores solitude; bodies and faces; sex, love and lust; chance and coincidence; cameras and privacy. He gets into journalism and public opinion pools, Watergate, and what he calls imagology (kind of like symbolism).

The author compares a superhighway that by-passes and flies over space with a road that allows you to experience the landscape. He invents a character, Professor Avenarius, who is so upset by the dominance of the automobile in cities that he randomly slashes tires as he jogs.

And, of course, given the title of the book and Kundera鈥檚 prominence as an author, he speculates on legacies and how you can鈥檛 control how history will view you.

At times the book has the flavor of a meta-novel. In some chapters the author talks directly to the reader and tells us about the process of writing and even refers to characters in his earlier works.

In other chapters he holds imaginary conversations with folks like Goethe and Hemingway and spends a bit of time on the odd life-long relationship between Goethe and a young woman, Bettina, who was one of the world鈥檚 first self-publicists way back in the early 1800s.

Kundera points out that until recently people knew everything through their own experience: how bread is baked, how a house is built, where meat comes from, etc. He writes about categorizing people by how much time they spend thinking of the past, present or future.

In summary, the great themes of existence, reflected upon by a great thinker.

The book has a very high rating on GR for this type of philosophy book and I am also surprised as I look at my friends' reviews how many have given it a '5.' Do, definitely a good read.

One of 3 books I would take to a desert island. A beautiful discussion on the nature of our legacy, what we decide to leave or not leave when we die. How that changes in time and how we can not do anything about it. Especially relevant to artists and writers. Delves into the nature of love and families while he is at it. It would take a life time to discuss this book.

I let myself be captivated to the point of bewitchment by this book by an author as amusing as he was lucid and desperate.
We can find much in this book.
There is a reflection on the history of literature.
There is an exhibition of what one might call the wisdom of erotic existence.
There is also an exhibition of the dissolution of the senses and all values. Western civilization has flourished through characters whose anchoring in modernity is brilliantly marked.
And everything we find is so intertwined that we get lost forever in finding ourselves with great pleasure tinged with bitterness.

Books are like lovers. They all hold promise. The more generous of us give each one of them a try. But they are not all equal. Most take no more than our time before we say goodbye. Then, there are others. Just a few. They take our hearts and minds. Immortality is one.

It's not for those in a rush or those intent on destinations. It's more like a car journey on roads without signs with a driver who sometimes seems lost. Yet, you don't want the ride to ever end. Yes, once crossing Ireland, I felt like that. Let us die here! I thought and never said. And we went our two ways after.

Immortality is beautiful in parts and dry as the peat bogs on the moonscape called the Irish Burren. It's troubling and troubled as this author who shares his thoughts on life and death, desire and beauty. Difficult to read. But worth sticking with for its insights.

I like Kundera because he doesn鈥檛 imprison me in a fastened frame of a classic narration. Reading Kundera seems as if you meet an old friend in a cafe shop after ages, and while she/he relates her / his life story, you zip your coffee, listen to the cafe music, hear some chats and laughs at neighbouring tables, look at the peddlers at side walk, or a passing tramvay, 鈥� as life is flowing around, 鈥�.

I鈥檓 not going to give this book a 鈥渟tar鈥� rating because can鈥檛 decide on one. There were parts of the novel that I found fascinating, parts that were completely confusing, and parts that were downright irrelevant. The beginning of the novel is very engaging. It sucks the reader right in. I was immediately interested in Kundera鈥檚 philosophy. Case in point: 鈥淭here is a certain part of all of us that lives outside of time. Perhaps we become aware of our age only at exceptional moments and most of the time we are ageless.鈥� I also loved when he proposed the idea about a married couple being asked at the time of death whether they want to spend eternity together or never see each other again. Why didn鈥檛 he expound upon this? I think he let too many good ideas drop off.

Unfortunately, as Kudera begins fucking with the time-line, it gets really convoluted and spits the reader right back out. I get what he鈥檚 going for, problem is, it gets a little clumsy. The language is still beautiful, and there are some special moments: 鈥淚 can savor drowsing and waking, that marvelous swinging between wakefulness and sleep which in itself is enough to keep us from regretting our birth.鈥�

I loved his observations about classical artists portrayal of expressions in paintings and sculptures. 鈥淎 face is beautiful because it reveals the presence of thought whereas the moment of laughter man does not think.鈥�

In the end, I thought it started really strong, got bogged down in the middle and ended on a high note.

Here are the dates that chart my reading trip with this book:
My worn copy of its Greek translation came out in 1991, and 1994 was the year written by my own hand on its opening page, indicating the time I first read it. A few days ago, 2025 was added underneath; this was my second foray into the work of a favorite writer.

I am now roughly the same age as Milan Kundera鈥檚 when he wrote it in 1988. In my late 50s, his reflections on life, death and the marks we leave behind in the (vast or tiny) landscape of our immortality, strike a chord I very much doubt they had stricken in my late 20s.
Not that he hadn鈥檛 made a strong impression; my fascination had already been ignited by his 鈥淯nbearable Lightness of Being鈥� a few years earlier. His style (the 'fictional essay') came as a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stale literary landsape. It had struck me as a bolt of lightning and had proposed a new way to look at things. His approach was almost sacrilegious in the suggestion of a less 鈥榠mportant鈥� life from the one I had been taught to aspire to by every person, institution and ideology that until then had been shaping my private and public persona. That book taught me that, for most of us, life鈥檚 mundane drama is precisely its lack of it.

This is how Wikipedia perfectly describes Kundera鈥檚 writing style and philosophy:...(he) conceived his fiction with regard to the overall body of his work, rather than limiting his ideas to the scope of one novel at a time, his themes and meta-themes traversing his entire oeuvre. Each new book manifests the latest stage of his personal philosophy. Some of his meta-themes include exile, identity, life beyond the border (beyond love, beyond art, beyond seriousness), and history as a continual return.

Even though I didn鈥檛 know I was reading metafiction back then, I knew that his characters, his stories and his quotations deeply resonated. His quotations: Kundera must have been one of the most quotable authors who ever existed. In fact, his characters and plots may have served only as pretexts for his aphorisms. As a younger reader I found his style irresistible. As an older one, I find his condensed wisdom equally alluring and鈥seful, if only because I can鈥檛 resist comparing my own 鈥渓atest stage of personal philosophy鈥� to his.

But even without that comparison, his insight,irony, and imaginativeness made this read as satisfying as it was 30 years ago. It is comforting to know that those who once inspired us are standing the test of time.

Playful ... moving ... didactic ... erotic ... misleading ... satisfying ...

A couple years ago I bought four of Kundera鈥檚 books at once 鈥� this one, The Joke, Ignorance, and of course The Unbearable Lightness of Being 鈥� never having read a word written by him.

Immortality is the first that I鈥檝e read.

I don鈥檛 know much about postmodernism in literature. I鈥檝e read some novels that are called postmodernist. But there are many more 鈥� Some readers rave about a certain type of postmodernist novel, one which present the reader with a dense thicket of cross-referencing passages, unreliable narrators, made up words 鈥� basically a thousand (or 10,000) piece jigsaw puzzle with no picture of what it鈥檚 supposed to look like. This is definitely not for me (I reiterate 鈥� if you read the spoiler). If I want to work hard, I鈥檒l do it in non-fiction reading, not a damn novel. Fiction is mostly for pleasure at my age.

Immortality has faint traces of this sort of postmodernism. But not enough to deter me. I found it a very interesting read, to say the least.

The first character we gradually discover is Agnes. Agnes is built from a gesture that the narrator sees an older woman make at a swimming pool.
At that instant I felt a pang in my heart! That smile and that gesture belonged to a twenty-year-old girl! Her arm rose with bewitching ease. It was as if she were playfully tossing a brightly colored ball to her lover. That smile and that gesture had charm and elegance, while the face and the body no longer had any charm. It was the charm of a gesture drowning in the charmlessness of the body ... I was strangely moved. And then the word Agnes entered my mind. Agnes. I had never known a woman by that name.
But wait. Is this elderly woman, charmless, possibly named Agnes, really a character in the novel? And what about that first-person narrator? Is he not a character, in a sense?

To answer the second first, no, the narrator is in fact Milan Kundera, the author. Not fictional, so far as I know.

The first question requires a couple more pages of reading. Then,
When I wake up, at almost eight-thirty, I try to picture Agnes. She is lying, like me, in a wide bed. The right side of the bed is empty. Who could her husband be? Clearly, somebody who leaves the house early on Saturday mornings. That鈥檚 why she is alone, sweetly swinging between waking and sleeping.

Then she gets up. Facing her is a TV set, standing on one long, storklike leg. She throws her nightgown over the tube, like a white, tasseled theater curtain. She stands close to the bed, and for the first time I see her naked. Agnes, the heroine of my novel. I can鈥檛 take my eyes off this beautiful woman, and as if sensing my gaze she hurries off to the adjoining room to get dressed.

Who is Agnes? 鈥� Agnes sprang from the gesture of that sixty-year-old woman at the pool 鈥� whose features are already fading from my memory. At the time, that gesture aroused in me immense, inexplicable nostalgia, and this nostalgia gave birth to the woman I call Agnes.


So we鈥檙e off. This first section of the novel, 鈥淭he face鈥�, introduces the people surrounding Agnes 鈥� her mother and father, her husband Paul, her daughter Brigitte, her sister Laura.

These are the remaining sections of the novel

Two. Immortality. An essay about Goethe, his longing for immortality, and a bizarre relationship he had (and/or tried not to have) with Bettina 鈥� aka Bettina von Arnim. Fascinating.

Three. Fighting. The longest section of the novel, the story of the relationships between Agnes and the other characters, including newly introduced characters. The subparts have their own titles, such as The sisters; Dark glasses; Older woman, younger man; Imagology; A complete ass; To be a victim of one鈥檚 fame; Professor Avenarius; The gesture of longing for immortality.

Four. Homo sentimentalis. Back to Goethe, including (like other sections) many comments on, and conversations with, such as Rilke, Hemingway, Rimbaud, Aristotle, Stendahl, Schnitzler.

Five. Chance. Swinging back and forth between a conversation between the narrator and Prof. Avenarius, himself (wholly or in part) a character in the novel.

Six. The dial. A connected story about Rubens. Not the noted artist, but a contemporary man, once having had ambitions to be an artist, but instead consumed by a desire to explore the phases and ages of love. The connection to the rest of the novel is only slowly revealed. The 鈥渄ial鈥� variously described as the dial of a clock, then 鈥淓urope鈥檚 dial鈥�, ultimately the dial of life

Seven. The celebration. Short. A reunion. Professor Avenarius, the narrator, the other characters (as it were, in search of an author). The celebration 鈥�(perhaps a real 鈥� a longing for immortality, the unbearable longing to not be forgotten.

Did I like it? Guess.

Cerebral Crosswinds over Parisian Fields
4.5 stars

Immortality is so rejuvenating to the reading experience, pulling Goethe and Hemingway from beyond, effortlessly using magical literary devices in pleasing ways. It should leave an indelible mark on the way you view a novel. One cannot describe the plot/theme without spoiling the trip.

When you begin reading Kundera, if you haven't read him before, it may help you to understand that he involves the writer (often a fictional character in himself) in the reading process. That is to say, he often adopts the personna of a friendly writer, much like Roth's Zuckerman, and will allow a view into his thinking in the writing of the novel. Here, this novel begins with his (the writer's) imagining the life of a woman who fascinates him as he lounges beside a hotel pool.

I found this the best place to begin the endeavor of reading Milan Kundera. Enjoy.

A motley assortment without any concrete sync and a lot of digressions

It was absolute awe of "the unbearable lightness of being" (The beauty of whose poetic title I will always adore) that made me pick this one up, but I gotta say, that "Immortality" was off-guard. For the most part, the plot seemed to lurk around without any concrete idea or some kind of centralized plot. It was more of a decentralized novel ( if that's the correct word to describe this situation ). No wonder, as Kundera himself mentions in the novel, "A novel shouldn鈥檛 be like a bicycle race but a feast of many courses".

But still, I know that this decentralized thing is an indispensable aspect of Kundera's novels ( paradigm example of this is "the unbearable lightness of being") and that there are a plethora of ideas present throughout the book, but in my opinion, Immortality lacks any concrete sync. There were parts, wherein I could relate the concepts but the occurrence of this was low.

On the contrary, although the unbearable lightness of being was also a motley assortment, yet the fizzing emporium of ideas seemed much more germane over there.

Having said all that, I'm still perplexed about how I feel about this book. The first two parts of this seven-part novel were better than the upcoming ones. I feel that towards the fag end, the book got downright irrelevant and just sucks the reader.

Moreover, I found the multifarious, ever-changing complexity of the world around the characters more interesting than the clever lucubrations of the self-satisfied characters themselves.

Coming to the rating, I'm a bit confused as I ain't too sure about how I feel about this book. But, owing to my love for the philosophical fiction of Kundera and a few ideas which were a banquet for the brain, I cannot resist but round my 3.35-star rating to 4. (how I wish yet again, that 欧宝娱乐 should have a decimal rating system, which would help readers to "precisely" rate a book)

Of my favourite authors, Haruki Murakami is like my enigmatic, bohemian tutor; Fyodor Dostoyevsky my reclusive, yet highly proficient counselor; and Milan Kundera an amiable uncle full of wit and wisdom. While Kundera's stories in themselves are beautiful, it's his philosophical insights and observations about mankind which I can't get enough of - yes, this is someone who I can truly respect in raising their voice about the human condition.
When someone is young, he is not capable of conceiving of time as a circle, but thinks of it as a road leading forward to ever-new horizons; he does not yet sense that his life contains just a single theme; he will come to realise it only when his life begins to enact its first variations.
There are countless themes swimming inside this novel (or are they merely variations on life and death?), and every few pages you're left wondering how you feel about what he's just touched on - have I ever thought about this?; yes, he has put it perfectly; that's what I've always wanted to put into words but never could!
'Just imagine living in a world without mirrors. You'd dream about your face and imagine it as an outer reflection of what is inside you. And then, when you reached forty, someone would put a mirror before you for the first time in your life. Imagine your fright! You'd see the face of a stranger. And you'd know quite clearly what you are unable to grasp: your face is not you.'
One of the strongest forces in our lives, and perhaps a natural human constant, is identifying with ourselves. Could you go a day without looking in the mirror? Isn't your name so dear to you that it even feels like it's something you yourself created out of talent and inspiration? Are our gestures, familial relations, mannerisms in making love and what we hold as our own peculiarities, actually unique when the sheer number of people on Earth suggests otherwise? If we created art, do we wish for its immortality or our own as the creator? Just how well do we think we know how others perceive us?

Reading Kundera, you're put face-to-face with many questions about your present and identity, but you're also pulled back to your past, with your childhood, family home, regrets and first steps in love; as well as the future, where your dreams and aspirations lie, what we want in love and matrimony, how we want to be seen by the world in life, and in death. Personally I think too little of the present, sandwiched between my past and future.
'I long for an experiment that would examine, by means of electrodes attached to the human head, exactly how much of one's life a person devotes to the present, how much to the memories and how much to the future. This would let us know who a man really is in relation to his time. What human time really is.'
I especially liked Agnes in this novel; I felt that her own world and dignity were precious to her over anything else, and I could relate to that. While she realises she loved and truly connected with her father, there's always an insurmountable gap between her and her mother, sister, lovers, even husband and daughter.
Agnes subtracts from her self everything that is exterior and borrowed, in order to come closer to her sheer essence (even with the risk that zero lurks at the bottom of the subtraction). Laura's method is precisely the opposite: in order to make her self ever more visible, perceivable, seizable, sizeable, she keeps adding to it more and more attributes and she attempts to identify herself with them (with the risk that the essence of the self may be buried by the additional attributes).
The only reason I didn't give this book five stars is that it fell just short of the standards of which touched me deeper, but I must say that Immortality easily overpowers most novels I've rated four stars. If you haven't read Kundera before, I highly recommend these two, in my eyes, works of art that speak through their wisdom, insights, and most of all, love.

2016 edit: Kundera isn't on my Favourite Authors list any more, but I still love this work and The Unbearable Lightness of Being.

This was my first time reading Kundera. I picked it up in a bookstore on a whim and was completely enthralled. This author has a way of saying things I've always wanted to say, but never found the words to do so. He has a talent for observation that is cleverly, if not blatantly, philosophical. He's also very funny.
But enough about him, since one of his main points is that we all concern ourselves way too much with the personal lives of creative artists rather than their actual work. Hence, I suppose, the reason he gives himself a role in the storyline of the book, Alfred-Hitchcock style. He also throws in Goethe, Beethoven, Napoleon, and Hemingway and several others to help explain his ideas, and coins terms like "ridiculous immortality" and "hypertrophy of the soul" to give us his own "sound bites" for our minds to chew on.
The main storyline reads kind of like a modern Greek tragedy with a twist of French existentialism and several intermissions. I don't know if I could recommend it to everyone, but for creative types, depressives, beatniks, and anyone else who has felt like they didn't fit in with the rest of the world, this is a great book.
