Testaments Betrayed: Essay in Nine Parts, An Reprint edition

A brilliant and thought-provoking essay from one of the twentieth century?s masters of fiction, Testaments Betrayed is written like a novel: the same characters appear and reappear throughout the nine parts of the book, as do the principal themes that preoccupy the author. Kundera is a passionate defender of the moral rights of the artist and the respect due a work of art and its creator?s wishes. The betrayal of both?often by their most passionate proponents?is one of the key ideas that informs this strikingly original and elegant book.
