Representaion During Books Identity

There are situations in which we fail for a moment to recognize the person we are with, in which the identity of the other is erased while we simultaneously doubt our own. This also happens with couples--indeed, above all with couples, because lovers fear more than anything else "losing sight" of that loved one.

With stunning artfulness in expanding and playing variations on the meaningful moment, Milan Kundera has made this situation--and the vague sense of panic it inspires--the very fabric of his novel. Here brevity goes hand in hand with intensity, and a moment of bewilderment marks the start of a labyrinthine journey during which the reader repeatedly crosses the border between the real and the unreal, between what occurs in the world outside, and what the mind creates in its solitude.

Of all contemporary writers, only Kundera can transform such a hidden and disconcerting perception into the material for a novel, one of his finest, most painful, and most enlightening. Which, surprisingly, turns out to be a love story.

Judgment Appertaining To Books Identity

Well, this was a hell of a book :). The philosophical ideas and questions it asks, Kunderas writing style! This is a perfect book for me. Enjoyed it and it made me question the essence of being.

A wonderful take on identity in the context of relationshipshow our perception of ourselves changes depending on "our perception of a lover," or how the idea (often unconscious) of being seen by another alters the way we see ourselves. This premise is in line with Kundera's categorizing of people, which he proposed in The Unbearable Lightness of Being, according to "the kind of look we wish to live under."This "look" is different for both Chantal and Jean-Marc, the couple in this book.

Identity was more interesting than I initially thought, however I found that it frequently repeated itself and a lot of it was just filler.

To these questions he has no answer.Milan Kundera is a philosopher in the garb of novelist; but a philosopher of life lived, dreamed and yearned for; a philosopher who will not deal in abstract metaphysics and grand scheme of ideas that, in the last analysis and against the banality of the real world, bears little of its weight on who we are, what we do, and mostly importantly, why we do it.Through the story of an odd people, Jean-Marc and Chantal, who get together as a result of more oddness in

This small gripping novel is the story of two lovers, Jean-Marc and Chantal. It moves from one to the other, following assumptions, emotions, beliefs and ideas - some shared, but mostly held in secret. It's about being seen, and about how we see each other. Identity is not fixed but is drawn from the mirrors around us. One of the messages of this novel is that, in order to love, you need to be certain that you know who the other person is. Once you start to doubt your lover's identity, love is

I get what people talk about when they talk about Kundera.
