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"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000888529 60010 $$aKundera, Milan$$xCriticism and interpretation. 000888529 650_0 $$aModernism (Literature)$$zEurope. 000888529 650_0 $$aExistentialism in literature. 000888529 651_0 $$aEurope$$xIntellectual life$$y20th century. 000888529 830_0 $$aComparative cultural studies. 000888529 852__ $$bebk 000888529 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3119725$$zOnline Access 000888529 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:888529$$pGLOBAL_SET 000888529 980__ $$aEBOOK 000888529 980__ $$aBIB 000888529 982__ $$aEbook 000888529 983__ $$aOnline
