«La despedida» is the novel by Milan Kundera, published by Maxi-Tusquets in paperback (248 pages, in Spanish).
Eight characters converge at an outdated spa and their stories become entangled until they are caught in the same plot: a celebrated musician and a nurse who wishes to become pregnant, the musician's jealous wife and a young mechanic in love with the nurse, an ex-convict who comes to say goodbye to Olga, a gynaecologist with ambitious demographic projects and an eccentric rich man. The novel unfolds the lightness of a waltz to pose a serious question about the value of human life.
The work belongs to the Maxi-Tusquets collection, where it occupies number 8. It was originally published in 1972 under the title Valčík na rozloučenou.
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 His Czechoslovak citizenship was revoked in 1979, but he was granted Czech citizenship in 2019.
