«La despedida» is the literary novel by Milan Kundera, published by Maxi-Tusquets in paperback (248 pages, in Spanish).
In an old-fashioned spa, eight characters get entangled until trapped: a celebrated musician, a nurse, a jealous wife, a lovesick mechanic, an ex-convict saying goodbye to Olga, a gynecologist with demographic plans and an eccentric millionaire. With a waltz-like tone, the novel raises a fundamental question about human life.
The novel was originally published in 1972 as «Valčík na rozloučenou»; this Spanish edition, from the Maxi collection, appeared in 1995.
For readers of contemporary fiction and Central European narrative seeking an ironic novel with a philosophical undertone.
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 His Czechoslovak citizenship was revoked in 1979, but he was granted Czech citizenship in 2019.
