Brace yourself for the most astonishing, challenging, upsetting, and profoundly moving book in many a season. An epic about love and friendship in the twenty-first century that goes into some of the darkest places fiction has ever traveled and yet somehow improbably breaks through into the light. Truly an amazement—and a great gift for its readers.
मधेशमा गाडामा पछाडितिर मात्र बोझ एकत्रित भएर सन्तुलन नमिल्ने, प्रकृयालाई स्थानीय भाषामा उलार भन्ने गरिन्छ । उलार २०५३ सालमा पहिलोपल्ट तन्नेरी द्धैमासिक पत्रिकामा र २०५५ सालमा पुस्तकाकार रूपमा तन्नेरी प्रकाशनबाट प्रकाशित चर्चित नेपाली उपन्यास हो । यसमा एउटा निम्नवर्गीय मजदुर टाँगाचालकको घोडाको मृत्युपछिको वियोगान्त कथा चित्रण गरिएको छ।
In an abandoned mansion at the heart of Barcelona, a young man – David Martin – makes his living by writing sensationalist novels under a pseudonym. The survivor of a troubled childhood, he has taken refuge in the world of books, and spends his nights spinning baroque tales about the city’s underworld. But perhaps his dark imaginings are not as strange as they seem, for in a locked room deep within the house letters hinting at the mysterious death of the previous owner. Like a slow poison, the history of the place seeps into his bones as he struggles with an impossible love.
This is the story of a woman with no name. Young, thin, pretty, a recent Columbia graduate, she lives in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan paid for, like everything else, by her inheritance. Yet she longs to lose herself completely.
In this dark farce of a novel, set in an old-fashioned Central European spa town, eight characters are swept up in an accelerating dance: a pretty nurse and her repairman boyfriend; an oddball gynecologist; a rich American (at once saint and Don Juan); a popular trumpeter and his beautiful, obsessively jealous wife; an disillusioned former political prisoner about to leave his country and his young woman ward. Perhaps the most brilliantly plotted and sheer entertaining of Milan Kundera’s novels, Farewell Waltz poses the most serious questions with a blasphemous lightness that makes us see that the modern world has deprived us even of the right to tragedy.
श्रीसितै जोडिएर आउने अरु मानिसको पनि कथा हो । सबैका केही न केही सपना छन् ।
सहरको यो भागदौडमा श्री कहीं पुग्न चाहन्छ । तर हिँड्न जान्दैन । ऊ केही बन्न चाहन्छ । तर कसरी बन्ने पत्तो पाउँदैन ।
एक मानिसको उतारचढावमा अनेक मानिस जोडिन्छन् । एक्लो – यो सहरमा अनेक सपना बोकेर रिङरोडभित्र फनफनी घुमिरहने पात्रहरूको कथा पनि हो । जो होहल्लामा त छन् तर आफूभित्र विराट् एक्लोपन बोकेर हिँडिरहेका छन् ।
Laughable Loves is a collection of stories that first appeared in print in Prague before 1968, but was then was subsequently banned. The seven stories are all concerned with love, or rather with the complex erotic games and stratagems employed by women and especially men as they try to come to terms with needs and impulses that can start a terrifying train of events.
Now, far from watching out, Kundera is finally and fully realizing his old aesthetic dream in this novel that we could easily view as a summation of his whole work. A strange sort of summation. Strange sort of epilogue. Strange sort of laughter, inspired by our time, which is comical because it has lost all sense of humor. What more can we say? Nothing. Just read.
