Milan Kundera began his literary career writing poetry and plays before establishing himself as a novelist.
The author lived much of his life in France, where he went into exile in 1975 and later became a citizen.
His masterpiece, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, is one of the most translated and widely read Czech books globally.
Kundera underwent a significant linguistic shift, moving from writing in Czech to composing his works directly in French.
For decades, the writer was reluctant to translate his French works into Czech, a practice he only ended in 2020.
