The book brings forth a completely new methodological view of Kundera’s novelistic writings: it avoids the analysis and further explanation of Kundera’s own interpretation of his works and it also avoids using Kundera’s prose as a means to illustrate the functionality of certain theories when applied to it. In an interpretation thus conceived, Milan Kundera is totally left aside in the aspect of him being a psychophysical being. This means that the relationship between the author and his work and vice versa is also left aside along with the whole social and historical context. The basis of Ceska’s approach lays in the consistent analysis of motives. At the process of this analysis arise more or less coherent tufts and units of established associations of meaning. The work shows the way Kundera’s novelistic world is set around certain central themes and at the same time it shows the way these themes are being shifted and transformed in the course of Kundera’s novelistic world’s progress. The themes acquire various meanings because it is possible to view them as variations of motives created in the previous works. An interpretation thus directed, offers an insight to Kundera’s writings. An insight completely different from the one offered so far by the psychological or descriptive explanatory monographs. |
