Milan Kundera's new collection of essays is a passionate defence of art in an era that, he argues, no longer values art or beauty. With the same dazzling mix of emotion and idea that characterises his novels he illuminates the art and artists who remain important to him and whose work helps us better understand the world. An astute and brilliant reader of fiction, Kundera applies these same gifts to the reading of Francis Bacon's paintings, Leoš Janáček's music, the film of Federico Fellini, as well as to the novels of Philip Roth, Dostoevsky and Gabriel García Márquez, among others. He also takes up challenge of restoring to their rightful place the works of major writers such as Anatole France and Curzio Malaparte whohae fallen into obscurity.
Milan Kundera's signature themes of memory and forgetting , the expericence of exile, and his spirited championing of modernist art mark these essays. Art, he argues, is what we have to cleave to in the face of evil, against the expression of the darker side of human nature. Elegant, startlingly original and provocative, "Encounter" follows Kundera's essay Collections, "The Art of the Nove;", "Testaments Betrayed" and "The Curtain"
