📘 Valčík na rozloučenou by Milan Kundera

Set in an old‑fashioned spa town in Central Europe, Kundera’s novel weaves the lives of eight characters: a nurse and her repairman boyfriend, an eccentric gynecologist, a wealthy American who oscillates between saintliness and Don Juanism, a popular trumpeter and his beautiful yet obsessively jealous wife, and a former political prisoner preparing to leave his country along with a young ward. Their interactions form an accelerating dance that exposes the absurdities of contemporary social customs and the erosion of the tragic impulse in modern life. Originally written in Bohemia in 1969‑70, the work was first published in France in 1976 under the title La valse aux adieux before appearing in many other languages.

First publish date: 1976
