Description

"A defense of fiction and a lesson in the art of reading." New York Times Book Review

"Testaments Betrayedis to be savored paragraph by paragraph. . . . It must be purchased, read, pondered, and argued within the margins. And frequently reread."Washington Post

A brilliant and thought-provoking essay from one of the twentieth centurys masters of fiction, Testaments Betrayed is written like a novel: the same characters appear and reappear throughout the nine parts of the book, as do the principal themes that preoccupy the author. Kundera is a passionate defender of the moral rights of the artist and the respect due a work of art and its creators wishes. The betrayal of bothoften by their most passionate proponentsis one of the key ideas that informs this strikingly original and elegant book.
