Thanks for sharing.

He has written about the structure of his books in detail. He was a musician as well as an author. He talked about the length of the sentences and chapters producing a tempo, like in music, and he very consciously controlled that tempo. His non fiction books (The Art of the Novel, Testaments Betrayed, an The Curtain) are almost as satisfying as his novels and his play.

This is my favorite book ever. I've read it every single year since I was 18 (I'm 26 now) and every time I've found something new. Thank you for your review, it was great!

Since Kundera just died I got interested in his book and am just reading this book. Thanks for an excellent book review! I did not realize that this book was published in Czech Republic so late.

Rest in Peace Mr. Kundera

Loved your review!!!! Totally agree! This book is an amazing read!

So nice to listening to your review. I just finished it yesterday. Certainly needed to take a break after for some lightness.

Great Review! Thank you for sharing us.

Hey! Great review, calming. :) Would like more of these from other authors. Cheers!

Hello, I'm an America in the South. I love Czech authors. Could you do a review of Jaroslav Havek and Karel Capek. Thank you.

Infinite jest in the background.. oh yess

Hello, I wonder if this book is in bilingual edition (czech and english).

Personally, I really enjoyed the little chapters thing that you mention. It made the reading so much easier as I usually stop reading in the middle of long chapters. I also loved how it was written ( read the English translation and I am actually a Spanish speaker haha, But it was great). Good book. I just didn't like the image of women that he has, sometimes you can see a bit of sexism, but I understand it was from another time. On the rest of things, I actually agree with you. I enjoyed your viudeo, thank you :)

it's so nice to see you back. so far, both your takes on your overall readings as well as the discussions on czech authors specifically were very interesting to listen to and i hope there's more to come!

Ahoj. Přečetl jsem celého Vonneguta kromě jeho posledních dvou nebo tří knih. Měl jsi stejný pocit jako já. Všechny se zdají být stejná kniha. Nebo se všechny jeho knihy prolínají v jednu knihu. Bylo mi asi osmnáct, když vyšlo 'Nesnesitelná lehkost bytí'. Nepamatuji si, kdy jsem knihu četl, ale brzy poté jsem přečetl všechny jeho romány a většinu jeho povídek, esejů a jednu hru (myslím). O Martinu Amisovi vím jen to, že to byl nejlepší přítel Christophera Hitchinse. O Carlos Ruiz Zafónovi nic nevím. Použil jsem Google Translate z angličtiny. Můj praděda pocházel odněkud z českých zemí v 19. století.

Kundera is one of the greatest authors alive but not many people here in America are familiar with him unless they have seen the film adaptation of Unbearable Lightness. The girl doing this review is right...his books really make you think about life, love and man's relation to the state. I feel the same way about Kundera's books as do about Jean Luc Godard's films. They're at times difficult but in the end they are magnificent.

Thanks for your review dear. 🙏🏻✨💫

I like to see what a woman think about this book, in the middle of your talk. I didn’t get your thought yet. too general, got nothing of yours yet

Awesome vid. Well done....

This is the 1st book that ever made me cry. It changed the way that I looked at literature. There are a lot of great books, but none better than The Unbearable Lightness of Being.

"Life and Being" Impromptu unless really promptu is not prompt to understanding by others.

Why you stop making these reviews ?

Are you still here? I wish you posted more often!

One of the best books I have ever read. I need to read again. This book together with Magic mountain by Thomas Mann kept in my mind even years after reading it. Nice review. Best wishes from Brazil.

Kundera... a real charmer johnflynn64travel.wordpress.com/2020/07/20/the-prefect/

Please read this book again ... every 5 years ... observe how the characters change in your mind and how the theme is not revolving around love ... as you grow and deepen so will your observations about this profound piece of literature that asks us to look how we create meaning ...

Hello! I'm Brazilian and I dunno how I got here, but I'd like to praise you! : )

I'm so fascinated by how Milan manages to merge storytelling with philosophy in a very unique way that is so beautiful, sincere and accessible. Great review. I hope you'll do more.

said with so much heart...love to see the love for books..

Utterly charming. Authentic & improvised...so many deep insights. PS selected this novel after visiting Prague, a beautiful city a few years ago. Also the film version was poignant & memorable...

You are talking as a way that you are here for selling the book,,,you should no exaggerate about the book...Except the summary of the book, anyway thank you,,,Hope it will be better in your new video

I think your opinion on books is honest and thoughtful. You bring a coolness and balance to your gestures and thoughts. I hope you are continuing to read, and will perhaps regain an interest in creating videos ❤️

Hey Sârka, You should be doing more of these book recommendations. Thanks, Cheers and Much Love.

Best structure.

Hello! I'm from Pakistan. I've read this novel and simply fallen in love with him. I think there's no coincidences. There are only chances. If you make use of chances, that is everything.

Thank you for your honest, clear, and insightful reflections on this book. It is the dichotomy you describe, philosophical yet poetic, specific to individual characters yet generalized to many living through the social and political unrest. I’d be interested in seeing more of your reviews. Thanks again.

amazing book!! nice review...greetings from Mexico

Why did you stop making book reviews? I appreciated your point of view!

Great analysis! (Because I agree with almost everything you said 😅😅). I've simply loved this book!! P.s: I'm from Brazil, and the translation to Portuguese was really good! ;)

Am a bit confused...but thanks for the review and looking forward to reading this book

I like your way of explanation combining your personal understanding, and I like your attracting English accent.

Why have you stopped making videos??

Nietzsche's External Return.

Ahoj Šárko, plánuješ ještě natáčet? Kdyby ses rozhodla přejít do češtiny, česká booktube komunita tě jistě ráda uvítá. Je nás víc než sto! Tady máš seznam kanálů, kam bys patřila :) docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Y0wuLC7kltMqBkN-icQAShHjIpVVX97pWkoAGTKGU3I/edit#gid=0

Hello. Just a quick question: is "Kùndera" the correct pronunciation of the author's last name? Thank you.

Hey I was thinking about buying this book and now I'm definitely gonna buy it after watching your video

This book was my introduction to Kundera. I've since read every book he's written.

Can you recommend me some good spiritual books ?

I just discovered Jorge Luis Borges' Collected Fictions. Some of his work could be magic realism but he blends in so many other elements like philosophy, historical references & even maybe non-fiction into a short story. I haven't read anything like it before. Perhaps you may enjoy that one? So many translated works! * beams happily * Yes, we need to celebrate our translators more, they bring us so many great works. Vonnegut is ok, he doesn't move me that much :P So I'm not planning to read him anytime soon. No sense! O.O That's my kind of book!! Pynchon's V is on my 2019 must read TBR. In a 2nd language, eep!! You've got courage!! Are there Czech authors who write like Pynchon, DFW or Joyce? I guess they would be experimental authors. So cool! All your vids are awesome, I'm so happy to find your channel. Have a great day!😊

I didn't know he was Czech! It was on my TBR for years, but I'd long forgotten why I added it. Your chat about it makes it sound amazing. I love how words can have different meanings for people or even just on the context at that moment. Language & philosophy are endlessly fascinating to me. Those are really short chapters! Could you read only one chapter then write in a journal to muse on what it means? Usually I read 50 pages at a time. Depending on the book, if it has short chapters like yours, I'll stop at the end of a chapter. If it has long ones, I'll just stop at the top of a page close to 50 where it won't interrupt the story too much. Great book chat! I must read this asahp. (As soon as humanly possible). Have a lovely evening! 😸
