520    Milan Kundera's new collection of essays is a passionate 
       defense of art in an era that, he argues, no longer values
       art or beauty. Art is what we possess in the face of evil 
       and the darker side of human nature. With the same mix of 
       emotion and idea that characterizes his novels, Kundera 
       revisits the artists who remain important to him and whose
       works help us better understand the world we live in and 
       what it means to be human. An astute reader of fiction, 
       Kundera brings his extraordinary critical gifts to bear on
       the paintings of Francis Bacon, the music of Leoš Janáček,
       and the films of Federico Fellini, as well as the novels 
       of Philip Roth, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, and Gabriel García 
       Márquez, among others. He also seeks to restore to its 
       rightful place the work of Anatole France and Curzio 
       Malaparte, major writers who have fallen into obscurity. -
