Milan Kundera

Milan Kundera (1 April 1929 – 11 July 2023) was a Czech and French novelist. He went into exile in France in 1975, acquiring citizenship in 1981. His Czechoslovak citizenship was revoked in 1979, but he was granted Czech citizenship in 2019.

Kundera wrote in Czech and French. He revises the French translations of all his books; people therefore consider these original works as not translations. He is best known for his novels, including The Joke (1967), The Book of Laughter and Forgetting (1979), and The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1984), all of which exhibit his extreme though often comical skepticism.

Jerzy Kosiński

Kosiński was born Josef Lewinkopf to Jewish parents in Łódź, Poland. As a child during World War II, he lived in central Poland under a false identity his father gave him to use, Jerzy Kosiński. A Roman Catholic priest issued him a forged baptismal certificate. The Kosiński family survived the Holocaust thanks to local villagers, who offered assistance to Jewish Poles often at great personal risk (the penalty for assisting Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland was death). Kosiński's father received help not only from Polish town leaders and churchmen, but also from individuals such as Marianna Pasiowa, a member of the Polish underground network helping Jews to evade capture. The family lived openly in Dąbrowa Rzeczycka near Stalowa Wola, and attende

Tokin nam u svojim delima nudi svakodnevicu i čovekovo uklapanje sa njom. Svoje likove nam predstavlja kao najnormalnije ljude u njihovim svakodnevnim ritualima, suočene sa činjenicom da je sadašnjost sve što imamo, naš jedini posed. Poziva nas da živimo život do kraja, da primećujemo, da uranjamo u svakodnevicu, širimo svoju svest i naprosto - budemo tu, postojimo.

Srca čitalaca osvojio je autentičnom poetikom svakodnevice, trenutaka, situacija koje nam izmiču u mimohodu.
