«Immortality» is a philosophical novel by Milan Kundera, published by Harper Perennial Modern Classics in paperback (352 pages, in English).
A seemingly trivial gesture —a woman says goodbye to her swimming instructor— awakens in the narrator, a writer named Kundera, the character of Agnès. From there, the novel explores identity, love and death, and how a gesture can outlive the one who made it, while the narrator meditates on the art of storytelling.
Milan Kundera's sixth novel originally appeared in Czech as «Nesmrtelnost» in 1990; the English translation is by Peter Kussi.
Suitable for readers of European fiction interested in philosophical reflection and in literature that questions itself.
Milan Kundera was a Czech and French novelist. Kundera went into exile in France in 1975, acquiring citizenship in 1981. His Czechoslovak citizenship was revoked in 1979, but he was granted Czech citizenship in 2019.
