Immortality Signed First Edition Reference

L’immortalité (Gallimard, 1990; English: Grove Weidenfeld, 1991) is Kundera’s most structurally complex novel — interweaving a contemporary Parisian story, a reimagined Goethe biography, and philosophical essays on immortality, gesture, and the modern cult of the image. Many critics consider it Kundera’s most ambitious and rewarding work, though it lacks the romantic accessibility of Unbearable Lightness.
