Iznevjerene oporuke

Milan Kundera

An essay written in the form of a novel: in nine independent parts they move and pass: Stravinsky and Kafka and their strange friends Ansermet and Brod; Hemingway and his biographer; Janacek and his small nation; Rabelais and his successors: great novelis

The Boston Globe calls this book "an idiosyncratic meditation on the moral necessity of preserving a work of art from destructive action", and Le Nouvel Observateur points out that for Kundera, the art of the novel is inextricably linked to the European civilization of "doubt and individual values", thus the fact that the novel " betrayed" a sign that civilization itself is in danger.

It is also important to point out that although it is primarily devoted to literature, in 1996 this book was awarded the Prize of the Society of American Composers as the best book about music. Therefore, we present a work that simultaneously speaks about society and art, as well as about literature and music.
