Résumé / commentaire :

« The article examines the characters on Milan Kundera's novels which includes "The Unbearable Lightness of Being", "The Book of Laughter and Forgetting", and "The Farewell Party". The most modest characters in Kundera's novels are painfully aware of the essential doubleness and vulnerability of bodily experiences while the vulgarian and liberationists treats their own and other's bodies in the most casual and indiscriminate manner. According to the author, Kundera's vision of the waning of the shame in modern world suggests that it is time for the readers to reconsider it. »
