Ignorance

Return is one of the main plots of world literature, and every odyssey develops predictably... however, not always. The heroes of the novel by one of the greatest contemporary writers, Milan Kundera, "Ignorance," return to the Czech Republic after emigration... - after many years of hardships, happiness, losses, compromises, new experiences and memories that are incomprehensible and uninteresting to anyone back home. How does memory work? What are hopes built from? What is true honesty? Who returns to Penelope and does she know the person who came back to her? Those who left; those who met them on their way; those who remained - Kundera peers into human destinies with unparalleled insight and a talent for empathetic understanding.
