Synopsis "La Lentitud (in Spanish)"

Milan Kundera se sirve a la vez de una novela francesa del siglo XVIII y de una excursión que a él y a su mujer se les antoja hacer a un castillo de Francia convertido en hotel, para ir dando vida a una serie de personajes del pasado y del presente que terminan coincidiendo en un congreso de entomólogos que se celebra en sus salones. Personajes e historias de ayer y de hoy van entrelazándose de tal manera que a nadie sorprenderá, por ejemplo, que un hombre enfundado en un casco de motociclista, azorado e impaciente, se aleje en su moto a toda velocidad, mientras otro, con una peluca blanca, adormilado y ensimismado, se sube a una calesa que parece salida de una estampa del pasado : el primero desea sin duda dejar algo tras de sí a toda prisa; el segundo, en cambio, parece disponerse a rememorar, al paso lento del caballo, la noche que acaba de pasar con la intrigante y seductora Madame de T.

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.
