The Curtain

Autor Milan Kundera Traducere de Linda Asher
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 apr 2025
A collection of seven essays that sketches out the author's personal view of the history and value of the novel. The real work of a novel is not bound up in the specifics of any one language: what makes a novel matter is its ability to reveal some previously unknown aspect of our existence. This work describes how the best novels do just that.
