    Testaments Betrayed , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 456min
    Milan Kundera has established himself as one of the great novelists of our time with such books as The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Immortality and The Book of Laughter and Forgetting. In Testaments Betrayed, he proves himself a brilliant defender of the moral rights of the artist and the respect due to a work of art and its creator's wishes. The betrayal of both - often by their most passionate proponents - is the principal theme of this extraordinary work. Listeners will be particularly intrigued by Kundera's impassioned attack on society's shifting moral judgments and persecutions of art and artists, from Mayakovsky to Rushdie.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Graeme Malcolm. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/cnon/000131/bk_cnon_000131_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Life Is Elsewhere , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 620min
    The author initially intended to call this novel The Lyrical Age. The lyrical age, according to Kundera, is youth, and this novel, above all, is an epic of adolescence; an ironic epic that tenderly erodes sacrosanct values: childhood, motherhood, revolution, and even poetry. Jaromil is in fact a poet. His mother made him a poet and accompanies him (figuratively) to his love bed and (literally) to his deathbed. A ridiculous and touching character, horrifying and totally innocent ("innocence with its bloody smile!"), Jaromil is at the same time a true poet. He's no creep, he's Rimbaud - Rimbaud entrapped by the communist revolution, entrapped in a somber farce. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Richmond Hoxie.

    Die unerträgliche Leichtigkeit des Seins
    'Die unerträgliche Leichtigkeit des Seins' verschaffte Milan Kundera den internationalen Durchbruch. Der Prager Chirurg Tomas, der die Frauen begehrt und zugleich fürchtet und seine Scheidung wie eine Hochzeit feierte, will fortan der Liebe aus dem Weg gehen. Erst für die Kellnerin Teresa bricht er mit seinen Grundsätzen. Aber Teresa verlässt ihn in Zürich, wo die beiden sich nach dem russischen Einmarsch in Prag niedergelassen haben und kehrt in ihr Heimatland zurück. Er folgt ihr, verliert seine Stellung, arbeitet als Fensterputzer und später als Lastwagenfahrer in einem Dorf fern von Prag. Das Glück endet in der Katastrophe.

    Ich schweige nicht
    Alain Finkielkraut setzt in seiner Autobiografie den Fokus auf die prägenden Etappen seines geistigen Werdegangs. Der große französische Philosoph greift Themen auf, die ihn sein Leben lang begleitet haben: die 68er-Bewegung, seine jüdische Herkunft, die Rassismus-Debatte oder den Staat Israel. Er setzt sich mit den Gedanken und Anregungen von intellektuellen Wegbegleitern wie Martin Heidegger, Milan Kundera oder Michel Foucault auseinander, philosophiert über seine europäische Identität und über deren Bedrohung durch den Multikulturalismus. So zieht der streitbare Denker nicht nur Bilanz über sich selbst und sein Werk, sondern auch über die europäische Gesellschaft an der Schwelle zu einem neuen Jahrtausend.

    The Curtain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 280min
    In this thought-provoking, endlessly enlightening and entertaining essay on the art of the novel, renowned author Milan Kundera suggests that 'the curtain' represents a ready-made perception of the world that each of us has - a pre-interpreted world. The job of the novelist, he argues, is to rip through the curtain and reveal what it hides. Here an incomparable literary artist cleverly sketches out his personal view of the history and value of the novel in Western civilization. In doing so, he celebrates a prose form that possesses the unique ability to transcend national and language boundaries in order to reveal some previously unknown aspect of human existence. ungekürzt.

    Laughable Loves , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 423min
    Milan Kundera is a master of graceful illusion and illuminating surprise. In one of these stories a young man and his girlfriend pretend that she is a stranger he picked up on the road - only to become strangers to each other in reality as their game proceeds. In another a teacher fakes piety in order to seduce a devout girl, then jilts her and yearns for God. In yet another girls wait in bars, on beaches, and on station platforms for the same lover, a middle-aged Don Juan who has gone home to his wife. Games, fantasies, and schemes abound in all the stories, while different characters react in varying ways to the sudden release of erotic impulses. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Jacques and His Master: A Play , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 112min
    Jacques and His Master is a deliciously witty and entertaining "variation" on Diderot's novel Jacques le Fatalist, written for Milan Kundera's "private pleasure" in the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia. When the "heavy Russian irrationality" fell on Czechoslovakia, Milan Kundera explains, he felt drawn to the spirit of the eighteenth century - "And it seemed to me that nowhere was it to be found more densely concentrated than in that banquet of intelligence, humor, and fantasy, Jacques le Fataliste." The upshot was this "Homage to Diderot," which has now been performed throughout the United States and Europe. Here, Jacques and His Master, newly translated by Simon Callow, is a text that will delight Kundera's admirers throughout the English-speaking world. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Simon Callow, David Timson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/harp/003263/bk_harp_003263_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
