«La Vie Est Ailleurs» is the novel by Milan Kundera, published by Folio in paperback format (464 pages, in French).
The novel follows Jaromil, a young poet in communist Czechoslovakia, whose lyrical vocation clashes with the revolutionary world around him. Kundera explores youth as a lyrical age and the relationship between poetry, maternal love and political commitment, building an ironic epic of adolescence that questions values such as childhood, motherhood and revolution.
Work originally published in 1973 as «Život je jinde», translated from Czech into French by François Kérel. Published in the Folio collection (No. 834).
For readers of contemporary European fiction and of Kundera's work seeking a French paperback edition.
