The Prank - Milan Kundera

It is the narrative of the individual's struggle with the partisan establishment, when this institution is narrow-minded, eliminating the margin of freedom for the individual, through its ideological hegemony and its unilateral vision.

In an analytical, sarcastic style, Kundera narrates the tragic situation of the human being trapped inside a ring of the Stalinist inheritance under the socialist system in Czechoslovakia.
