Of course, he is considered to be a modernist writer (some call him even a postmodernist), but what the broader concept of modernity intellectually, historically, socially, and culturally means for him and how this is expressed in his texts has not been thoroughly examined. Steinby's book fills this vacuum by analyzing Kundera's novels from the viewpoint of his understanding of the existential problems in the culture of modernity. In addition, his relation to those modernist novelists from the first half of the twentieth century who are most important for him is scrutinized in detail. Steinby's Kundera and Modernity is intended for students of modernism in literary and (comparative) cultural studies, as well as those interested in European and Central European studies"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aComparative cultural studies. 606 $aModernism (Literature)$zEurope 606 $aExistentialism in literature 607 $aEurope$xIntellectual life$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 615 0$aExistentialism in literature. 676 $a891.8/685409 700 $aSteinby$b Liisa$0967506 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463579903321 996 $aKundera and modernity$92196644 997 $aUNINA
