Kundera tiene el don de decir del modo más cristalino lo que a uno le resulta más difÃcil decirse.
A partir del gesto encantador de una mujer de cierta edad, el escritor crea el personaje de Agnes, alrededor de la cual aparecerán su hermana Laura, su marido Paul, y todo nuestro mundo contemporáneo en el que se rinde culto a la tecnologÃa y la imagen. Pero y si el hombre no fuera sino su imagen?, pregunta otro personaje, Rubens, quien comprueba finalmente que de la más excitante de sus amantes sólo le quedan dos o tres fotografÃas mentales. Esta novela transforma todos los aspectos del mundo moderno en cuestiones metafÃsicas. Las aventuras de los personajes imaginarios se mezclan con la historia de dos candidatos a la inmortalidad, Goethe y Bettina von Armin; la reflexión sobre el nacimiento del homo senti-mentalis en la historia de Europa alterna con las peripecias parisienses del singular profesor Avenarius, para quien el mundo de hoy no sirve sino como objeto de juego.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Kundera has the gift of saying in the most crystalline way what is most difficult to say to oneself.
From the charming gesture of a woman of a certain age, the writer creates the character of Agnes, around whom will appear her sister Laura, her husband Paul, and our entire contemporary world that worships technology and image. But what if man were nothing but his image?, asks another character, Rubens, who finally realizes that of the most exciting of his lovers, he only has two or three mental photographs left. This novel transforms all aspects of the modern world into metaphysical questions. The adventures of imaginary characters mix with the story of two candidates for immortality, Goethe and Bettina von Armin; the reflection on the birth of homo senti-mentalis in the history of Europe alternates with the Parisian adventures of the singular professor Avenarius, for whom today's world serves only as an object of play.
