Book Description: Knopf, New York, 1974. hardcover. New York. 1974. Knopf. 1st American Edition. Very Good In Slightly Worn Dustjacket With Some Tears. 293 pages. July 1974. hardcover. 0394480104. ?It a necessary to be absolutely modern.? ? Rimbaud. The Poet - From his birth he is willed to be Artist by his romantic, disappointed mother, who praises his first stumble into rhyme (?Ugly Anna stole banana? - she, immemorial-Mama-editor, transcribes it as ?Our dear Anna loves a banana?). As a boy, he is stung when his schoolmates contradict the image she has imposed on him: Prodigy. As a youth, he escapes her - in search of his own authentic self. To be modern, to be radical, to change the world - this is his compulsion, his idea of the artist's place in the cosmic scheme. At last, at the University of Prague, as the Communists rally the students to their cause (this is 1948), he is endowed with a persona that both he and the rest of the world can accept: People's Literary Hero, an identity validated by the rousing applause given his poems by the assembled members of the poetry circle of the Police Academy. This is Jaromil, protagonist of Milan Kundera's brilliant, unsparing, and high-comic novel - a portrait of the self-deluded poet defining himself through abstract cliche yet determined to stand out as Hero, whose naive and frenzied venture into the real blood and guts of politics preordains his emergence as fool and informer, setting in motion a tragedy of errors. In its wry, sly, ultimately blasphemous ambushing of the very essence of the romantic poet's ego and the ?lyrical? attitude toward life - nearly every episode in Jaromil's story has its (almost) counter - part in the life of some great poet - LIFE IS ELSEWHERE demonstrates the gifts that have won for Kundera, Czechoslovakia's foremost novelist, the praise of such diverse writers as Sartre, Aragon, and Philip Roth. keywords: Literature Translated Czech Eastern Europe. inventory # 37142 Very Good In Slightly Worn Dustjacket With Some Tears.
