312 pp.; 21 cm. First published, 1979. Translated from the French. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Age toning. "Rich in its stories, characters, and imaginative range, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting is the novel that brought Milan Kundera his first big international success in the late 1970s. Like all his work, it is valuable for far more than its historical implications. In seven wonderfully integrated parts, different aspects of human existence are magnified and reduced, reordered and emphasized, newly examined, analyzed, and experienced. / The Franco-Czech novelist Milan Kundera was born in Brno and has lived in France, his second homeland, since 1975. He is the author of the novels The Joke, Life Is Elsewhere, Farewell Waltz, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, and Immortality, and the short-story collection Laughable Loves - all originally in Czech. His most recent novels, Slowness, Identity, and Ignorance, as well as his nonfiction works The Art of the Novel and Testaments Betrayed, were originally written in French." - Publisher. 5th printing Trade Paperback 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall

300 g; X, 166 pages, last page blank, in original illustrated dust jacket. (Illustration By Andrzej Klimowski). The stock used by the publisher has started to brown evenly on all edges. Otherwise there is no apparent damage to the book or the dust jacket. "I haven't the slightest ambition to be a literary theorist, and this book is nothing more than the confession of a practitioner. The work of every novelist contains an implicit version of the history of the novel, a concept of what the novel is. The concept of the novel inherent in my novels is what I've tried to speak of here" in seven independent but closely related chapters Kundera presents his personal conception of the European novel, which he describes as "an art born of the laughter of God". -- rear fold over blurb First British Edition Good Hardcover 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Books on Books
