The effect is at its most acute in a couple where our existence is given meaning by our perception of a lover, and theirs of us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith his astonishing skill at building on and out from the significant moment, Kundera has placed such a situation and the resulting wave of panic at the core of the novel. In a narrative as intense as it is brief, a moment of confusion sets in motion a complex chain of events which forces the reader to cross and recross the divide between fantasy and reality. Profound, sad and disquieting but above all a love story, \u003cb\u003eIdentity\u003c\/b\u003e provides further proof of Kundera's astonishing gifts as a novelist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kundera, Milan \u0026 Asher, Linda","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":49290787258707,"sku":"9780571195671","price":14.27,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":47399006011731,"sku":"XV80571195671","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/kundera-milan-asher-linda-milan-kundera-identity-1999-paperback-58540639125843.jpg?v=1726909151","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.pro\/products\/identity-1","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
