In such a dark farce of your novel, set in an old-fashioned Central Western spa town, eight people are swept up within an accelerating dance: a fairly nurse and her repairman partner; an oddball gynecologist; a rich American (simultaneously saint and Don Juan); a popular trumpeter and his beautiful, obsessively jealous wife; an disillusioned previous political prisoner going to leave his country and his young girl ward. Perhaps the most brilliantly plotted and sheerly interesting of Milan Kundera's books, Farewell Waltz poses the most serious questions with a blasphemous lightness that makes us see that today's world has deprived us even of the to tragedy. Written in Bohemia in 1969-70, this e book was first published (in 1976) in France under the name La valse aux adieux (Farewell Waltz), and later in 34 other countries. This beautiful translation, made from the French word prepared by the novelist himself, totally displays his own shade and intentions. As a result, it offers a chance for both the finding and the rediscovery of 1 of the very best of a great writer's works.
