“Brilliant ! Kundera at his best !”

“In typical Kundera fashion, you aren't sure whether to laugh or cry while reading this novel. Kundera likes to teeter on the edge of blasphemy, always pulling the reader back with the sheer humanness of his characters. While this Aaron Asher translation was released here in the states in 1998, it was originally written in 1969-70, and in that context, becomes a far more controversial and provocative novel. It is a good read, and full of poetic and prosaic gems. Kundera hands the reader the truths of life on a platter, accompanied by the Dom Pérignon of his prose.”

“Though this book is not considered to be the Kundera´s best, it definitely is my favourite book by him - the "farewell" feeling of not coming back anymore is so deep here.”

“این کتاب از همون اول طوری شروع میشه که کتاب به دستت بچسبه..برای اینکه ببینی تکلیف آخرش چیه! یعنی از همون اول می اندازتت تو هیجان آخر داستان! اگه کتابی می خوای که بدون اینکه خسته یک نفس بخونیش این کتاب رو شروع کن!

“One of the easier to read Kundera books...but again, nothing by Kundera is incredibly easy. An excellent story showing the complexity of human relationships and the struggle between fate and freewill. An earlier novel in Kundera's career and definately worth reading.”

“I found this novel to be only alright. The ending is, of course, a disappointment, but the characters involvement with each other is interesting. Worth the read but definitely not one of my favorites.”
