Immortality - Book by Milan Kundera

Milan Kundera's Immortality (1990) is a philosophical novel exploring themes of identity, memory, and the search for meaning. Blending fiction with historical and philosophical musings, it follows multiple storylines, including the life of Agnes, a woman whose simple gesture sets off existential reflections. The novel also features Goethe and Hemingway in imagined conversations, examining fame and legacy. Kundera challenges conventional storytelling, using digressions and metafiction to question the nature of existence and the human desire for immortality. Deeply introspective yet playful, Immortality is a meditation on how we construct our lives and how we are remembered.
