Synopsis "El Telon (in Spanish)"

Sólo el gran arte de la novela es capaz, de desgarrar por un instante El Telón de prejuicios y preinterpretaciones con que desciframos no sólo nuestra vida sino la historia entera de la humanidad. Más aún: tal vez la novela sea el último observatorio que nos permite abrazar la existencia humana en su conjunto y lanzar 'una mirada al alma de las cosas'.El novelista y ensayista Milan Kundera nos invita en El Telón a participar en el secreto diálogo que mantienen los grandes nombres de la tradición occidental. Unas obras iluminan a otras, los escritores descubren aspectos inusitados en sus antecesores, que a su vez inspirarán a sus sucesores de muy diversa manera: Rabelais, Cervantes, Diderot, Fielding, Flaubert, Kafka, Joyce, García Márquez...El resultado es una pequeña y particular 'pléyade' literaria que Kundera comparte con los lectores y una iluminadora historia personal de la literatura.'

Milan Kundera (/'mɪlan 'kundɛra/ Brno, April 1, 1929-Paris, July 11, 2023) was a Czech novelist, short story writer, playwright, essayist, and poet. Since 1975, he lived with his wife in France, where he acquired citizenship in 1987.

Kundera's most famous work is The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Before the Velvet Revolution of 1989, the communist regime in Czechoslovakia banned his books. He led a low-profile life and rarely spoke to the media. He was thought to be a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature and was also nominated for other awards.

He received the Jerusalem Prize in 1985, the Austrian State Prize for European Literature in 1987, and the Herder Prize in 2000. In 2021, he was awarded the Order of Merit by the president of Slovenia.
