But each book has its own unique characteristics, which will not be similar to The Unbearable Lightness of Life. I suggest you have a look.
Milan Kundera's slowness
Source: Wen Yi. Com author: Xu Duo
This series of Kundera's works published by Shanghai Translation Publishing House have clean binding, comfortable paper and layout, reliable translators and low prices. Even if other versions have been bought before, they can still be accepted by the order.
Although the book was slow, I finished it in two hours.
The most enjoyable part of this book is Kundera's best and favorite theme: being mean to politicians and intellectuals who want to show off.
Politicians support just causes out of vanity; The wit who was laughing at politicians just now suddenly became birds of a feather: in order to win the smile of strange beautiful women on the coffee table, he mobilized all his wisdom, seized the heat of the conversation, threw a witty remark with a charming voice, and even destroyed his friends.
This is also the most commonly used technique of Kundera, mocking politicians through the mouth of intellectuals; Then, kill the donkey immediately after unloading the mill, and watch the same absurdity under the little actions of intellectuals with the viciousness of onlookers.
The mean Kundera reminds me of the vicious Wang Shuo. Only the intellectuals who were viciously attacked by Wang Shuo were so pitiful that they didn't even have any decent ideas. They were completely petty, pretentious, stupid and prude.
During the SARS period, everything was "slow", which made people doubt the original "fast".
"I looked in the rearview mirror ... why didn't the man say something interesting to her? Why don't you put your palm on her knee? None of this was done, but I cursed the driver in front for not driving fast enough. The woman didn't expect to touch the driver with her hand. She scolded me while driving with him. "
Most men and women in the city look like this rearview mirror. They are bent on overtaking (earning more money as quickly as possible, living in a bigger house, wearing better clothes, climbing a higher position and doing bigger business). Over time, they get used to going all out and being completely boring.
"How slow music lost? Ah, where are those old vagrants? ..... In our world, leisure degenerates into idleness ... Idle people are lost. He is bored and always looking for the action he lacks. "
After SARS, people who slow down will gradually get up and even get faster, so as to recover lost and wasted time. That's good. "Slow down" without fighting spirit and delusion, and then what? what can I do? For people who have lost their "slow fun", it is really unimaginable and boring to wander around idly.
Everyone knows that "fast" is painful and boring, but "slow" is hard to say. Flirting in traffic jams, anyone will, but you have to be in that mood. Everything is too fast to be redeemed.
Therefore, Slow is not a suitable novel, especially for those "urban mainstream people" who are sensitive, highly educated and have low quality of life.
Increase the trouble of self-denial in vain.
