Immortality

"Immortality" is an intellectual novel by one of the most outstanding writers of our time, Milan Kundera; a book about freedom and the overwhelming fear of death, the ambiguity of actions and frankness with oneself, the desire to leave a mark, and at the same time to destroy all traces.

The playful movement of an elderly woman's hand in the pool, like the flapping of a butterfly's wings, begins this novel, mixing the heroes' destinies and intertwining the lives of fictional characters with the lives of classics of world literature. Immortality can be defined with a single wave of the hand, but who knows if that gesture is not faked, subconsciously stolen from someone.
