{"product_id":"kundera-and-modernity-english-spanish-edition","title":"Kundera and Modernity","description":"While a large amount of scholarship about Milan Kundera's work exists, in Liisa Steinby's opinion, his work has not been studied within the context of (European) modernity as a sociohistorical and a cultural concept. Of course, he is considered to be a modernist writer (some call him even a postmodernist), but what the broader concept of modernity intellectually, historically, socially, and culturally means for him and how this is expressed in his texts has not been thoroughly examined. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteinby's book fills this vacuum by analysing Kundera's novels from the viewpoint of his understanding of the existential problems in the culture of modernity. In addition, his relation to those modernist novelists from the first half of the twentieth century who are most important for him is scrutinised in detail. Steinby’s \u003cem\u003eKundera and Modernity\u003c\/em\u003e is intended for students of modernism in literary and (comparative) cultural studies, as well as those interested in European and Central European studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Key Points:\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e  Offers new insights into the work of the popular modern writer Milan Kundera.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e  Expands the reader’s understanding of the meaning of the concept of “modernity.”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e  Widens the literature available in English about Central European culture.","brand":"Purdue University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32068477091923,"sku":"","price":43.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781557536372.jpg?v=1780114544","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/kundera-and-modernity-english-spanish-edition","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
