Euskaraz irakurri: Milan Kundera idazlea zendu da

The Czech writer Milan Kundera, born in Brno (Czechoslovakia) in 1929, has died at the age of 94, as announced by public television in the Central European country.

The prose writer, playwright and poet published his first novel in 1967, The joke, critical of totalitarianism. In 1975, Kundera went into exile in France, after seeing her works banned in Czechoslovakia after the 1968 Prague Spring protests against the socialist state, and from 1993 she published her works in French.

In 1979, the then communist regime withdrew his Czechoslovak nationality, although two years later the then French president, François Mitterrand, granted him French nationality.

He achieved massive recognition from critics and the public in the second half of the 20th century with works such as “The Unbearable Lightness of Being”, “The Joke” and “The Feast of Insignificance”.

Since his first novels, humor, irony and reflection on memory, the passage of time, exile and the fragile human condition have been his hallmarks. Karlos Cid, translator of two of his works into Basque, emphasizes that her narratives left a long space for reflection through an omniscient narrator.
