### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Awesome and witty -- wonderfully entertaining and insightful
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2010*

Milan Kundera is the best novelist I have ever read.  His power lies in his great intellect, keen and unerring observations of human behaviors, and his immaculate control of language to yield the exact effect he desires.  Even though I cannot read his works in the original Czech or French, the English translations are as, if not more, satisfying than the greatest of original English works.  "Immortality" proves to be even better than the already awe-inspiring "The Book of Laughter and Forgetting."  The point really is not the plot, but how it's plotted.  It's the originality of working his voice into the surface of the text without subverting the comfortable author-reader decorum.  It's the exploration of the nature (or un-nature?) of relationships, the impossibity of understanding between "different" kinds of people, and the longing for those with whom such understanding is possible.  Agnes for her father.  Her father for a woman that he might have met too late in life.  Milan Kundera for an ideal reader.The other part of the plot is centered on the anecdotal relation between Goethe and Bettina.  It's a long discussion of how the title of the book, immortality, figures in in a relationship such as that between Goethe and Bettina.  The story itself is fascinating enough that I never raised a question as to why the two plots are set side by side.  I might come upon some insight later on, but one thing is pretty clear, Bettina is what Agnes is not.  Even though the book seems to caste Agnes' sister Laura as Agnes' opposite, Bettina is the real counterpart to Agnes.  One yearns for immortality in the public memory, the other for a quiet, private understanding.  And from the sympathy he bestows upon Agnes, it is quite obvious that Kundera is partial to Agnes' kind yearning.  But he also understands Bettina perfectly well.  After all, he shares the same yearning for immortality.

    It's Kundera as usual
  

*by M***C on Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2020*

I love Kundera and this was a typical novel of his. Light and deep, funny and compelling, wistful and philosophically stimulating

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Pleasant read with many interruptions in the main story.
  

*by M***O on Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2014*

No argument about the material and the major point of the story, It is a pleasant read.I felt that Milan Kundera's viewpoint on immortality is more geared towards the artists' community.There are definitely very many points that I started feeling it is now becoming more general, but a lot of interruptions in the story made it sometimes hard to follow the main point.I personally enjoyed his other work better, i.e. The unbearable lightness of being, primarily due to less interruptions in the main story.
