Milan Kundera _ Ignorance
She pictures his jovial figure, dressed up in his T-short, shouting that Kafka was born in Prague, and she feels a desire rising through her body, the irrepressible desire to take a lover.

Milan Kundera _ Ignorance
Vê um jovem que se afasta da vida dela e se vai, parra sempre inacessível. Hipnotizada, nada pode fazer senão olhar esse pedaço da sua vida que se afasta, não pode senão olhá-lo e sofrer. Experimenta uma sensação inteiramente nova que se chama nostalgia.

Is the epic of the return still pertinent to our time?

Milan Kundera _ Ignorance
Promatra njihova usta koja se otvaraju sva istodobno, usta koja melju, izbacuju riječi i bez prestanka praskaju u smijeh {zagonetka: kako se žene koje se međusobno ne slušaju mogu smijati onome što govore?}.
