«I testamenti traditi» is Milan Kundera's essay on literature and art, published by Adelphi in paperback (279 pages, in Italian).
Kundera reflects on art and the novel against those who distort a work's legacy: well-meaning friends, biographers and translators. With figures such as Stravinsky, Kafka, Hemingway, Céline, Mayakovsky and Rabelais, he defends the «wisdom of the novel» and its fragility before others' interpretations.
«I testamenti traditi» was originally published in French in 1993 as «Les testaments trahis»; in Italian, with a translation by Ena Marchi, it is part of the Biblioteca Adelphi collection (no. 292).
Intended for readers of essays and literary criticism interested in Milan Kundera's ideas on the novel and art.
Milan Kundera was a Czech and French novelist. Kundera went into exile in France in 1975, acquiring citizenship in 1981. His Czechoslovak citizenship was revoked in 1979, but he was granted Czech citizenship in 2019.
