«La broma» is the novel by Milan Kundera published by Seix Barral in paperback (328 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Ludvík, whose life falls apart when a political joke is misinterpreted as an attack on the communist regime. Between unfulfilled love for Lucie and a relationship with Helena, wife of an enemy, he tries to understand how that joke shaped his destiny. Irony and melancholy speak of love, revenge, and a world without a sense of humor.
The work was first published in 1967 under the Czech title «Žert»; this Spanish edition, translated by Fernando de Valenzuela, belongs to the Biblioteca Breve collection.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in Czech literature and the relationship between politics and personal life.
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 His Czechoslovak citizenship was revoked in 1979, but he was granted Czech citizenship in 2019.
