Immortality is one of the important representative novels written by Milan Kundera from 65438 to 0990 after he moved to France. This is also his sixth novel. For example, Flaubert's Madame Bovary, Tolstoy's anna karenine, and Agnes, the hero of Kundera, all fell into a helpless life state because of the long-term entanglement of past memories. The story begins with a scene of gesturing to the swimming coach by the swimming pool, which reflects Kundera's unique artistic creativity in the novel. Kundera said in the book: "Immortality is the shadow of death or brother and sister. When you see him, you will see her. " This book talks about immortality in the form of a novel, not philosophy. His definition of immortality is also simple: for immortality, people are unequal. We must distinguish between small immortality and great immortality. Small immortality means that a person has left a memory in the hearts of people who know him; Great immortality means that a person has left a memory in the hearts of people he doesn't know.
