Summary
Milan Kundera: Šala
Šala is Kundera's first novel, which earned him the reputation of an important writer, first in his homeland, and then in the world. "It is impossible to accurately describe the subtleties, comedy and wisdom present in this wonderful novel," wrote Salman Rushdie. "The author of Šala is clearly one of the best writers today." In terms of its artistic power, this literary work can be compared to the aesthetics of the best achievements of Czech cinematography. The story, set during the liberation of Czechoslovakia, offers a deeply human and poignant perspective of inhumanity and cruelty.
