Milan Kundera's seventh novel, which tells, in parallel, two love stories; One of them is in the eighteenth century, which witnessed the atmosphere of liberation and openness, and it is slow and tasteful, while the other is spinning in our time, and it is fast and ridiculous. The writer, glorifying slowness in this novel, invites us to become aware of "the secret connection that links slowness with memory, and speed with forgetfulness." In this world in which the speed of everything continues to grow, Kundera believes that we have lost the memory that leads us to pleasure and enables us to feel. Have fun living in the present.
