Anotace
A man and a woman meet by chance while returning to their homeland,
which they had abandoned twenty years earlier when they chose to
become exiles. Will they manage to pick up the thread of their
strange love story, interrupted almost as soon as it began and then
lost in the tides of history? The truth is that after such a long
absence 'their memories no longer match'. We always believe that
our memories coincide with those of the person we loved, that we
experienced the same thing. But this is just an illusion as the
memory records only 'an insignificant, minuscule particle' of the
past, 'and no one knows why it's this bit and not any other bit'.
We live our lives sunk in a vast forgetting, and we refuse to see
it. Only those who return after twenty years, like Ulysses
returning to his native Ithaca, can be dazzled and astounded by
observing the goddess of ignorance first-hand. Milan Kundera has
taken these dizzying concepts of absence, memory, forgetting, and
ignorance, and transformed them into material for a novel,
masterfully orchestrating them into a polyphonic and moving work.
