The Festival of Insignificance

Ignorance

Melancholic Milan Kundera returns to Czechoslovakia, which he once had to leave, at least in his thoughts and feelings, in the unsentimental love novel Ignorance.

Identity

The book offers reflection on our place on Earth, self-knowledge, mortality, loyalty, love. About the aging of each of us, but also about the aging of modern European culture as a whole.
