«La Broma» is the novel by Milan Kundera, published by Planeta in hardback (329 pages, in Spanish).
Set in communist Czechoslovakia, it tells the story of Ludvik, a young man whose life changes after a youthful joke: what seemed an innocent quip brings him serious political and personal consequences. The novel reflects on love, disillusionment and the effects of misunderstood humour under an oppressive regime.
Originally published in Prague in 1967 as «Žert», this 1999 edition is translated from Czech by Fernando de Valenzuela and belongs to the collection «Clásicos de Nuestro Tiempo» (1960/4).
For those who enjoy novels with a political and historical backdrop, with a reflective and ironic tone, and who want to approach twentieth-century Czech narrative.
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 His Czechoslovak citizenship was revoked in 1979, but he was granted Czech citizenship in 2019.
