編輯推薦
Every novelist's work contains an implicit vision of the history of the novel, an idea of what the novel is. I have tried to express here the idea of the novel that is inherent in my own novels.
每位小說傢的作品都隱含著作者對小說曆史的理解,以及作者關於“小說是什麼”的想法,在此,我陳述瞭我小說中固有的、我自己關於小說的想法——米蘭·昆德拉
內容簡介
Kundera brilliantly examines the work of such important and diverse figures as Rabelais, Cervantes, Sterne, Diderot, Flaubert, Tolstoy, and Musil. He is especially penetrating on Hermann Broch, and his exploration of the world of Kafka's novels vividly reveals the comic terror of Kafka's bureaucratized universe.
Kundera's discussion of his own work includes his views on the role of historical events in fiction, the meaning of action, and the creation of character in the post-psychological novel.
小說傢一旦扮演公眾人物的角色,就使他的作品處於危險的境地,因為它可能被視為他的行為、他的宣言、他采取的立場的附庸。
