Synopsis
181pages. 14,0cm x 20,5cm x 1,9cm. broché. L'ignorance, ici, ne fait pas allusion aux lacunes de la connaissance, mais précisément aux côtés inconnus de la nature humaine, qui ne se révèlent pas dans la fadeur du quotidien, cachés qu'ils sont derrière le rideau de la normalité, mais qui surgissent au grand jour dans des situations historiques exceptionnelles -comme la période de la Terreur sous la Révolution française. Milan Kundera s'interroge sur la mémoire, et surtout sur l'oubli, qui à ses yeux prend le pas sur le travail de la mémoire. Ce roman est, à l'instar des trois précédents, écrit directement en français. Du même auteur: L'Identité; La Lenteur.
