The Art of Fiction (milan Kundera Works Series·2022 Edition)
About This Novel
Where did the novel come from? Why do people like novels? How does reading novels help our lives? In this book, Milan Kundera starts from when Don Quixote leaves home, describes the changes in the novel and the spiritual comfort it brings to mankind, and then expresses the wisdom of the novel. "When humans think, God laughs." Kundera said, inspired by this motto, he likes to imagine that Rabelais heard God's laughter one day, and Europe's first great novel was born. The art of fiction came into the world as an echo of God's laughter. The wisdom of novels is different from the wisdom of philosophy. It does not come from the spirit of theory, but from the spirit of humor. "The Art of the Novel" is also a concentrated expression of the aesthetics of Kundera's novels. Through this book, we can understand the writer's artistic views, style, techniques, his attitude towards writing, his understanding of literary tradition, and his thoughts on people and the world behind this attitude. It is the best answer to the existence value of novels.
