She has decided he is the father.  And so begins a comedy which, during five madcap days, unfolds with ever-increasing speed. Klima's beautiful, jealous wife, the nurse's equally jealous boyfriend, a fanatical gynaecologist, a rich American, at once Don Juan and saint, and an elderly political prisoner who, just before his emigration, is holding a farewell party at the spa are all drawn into this black comedy, as in A Midsummer Night's Dream.  As usual, Milan Kundera poses serious questions with a blasphemous lightness which makes us understand that the modern world has taken away our right to tragedy.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45703809597659,"sku":"9780571194711-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9780571194711-us-300.jpg?v=1717830677","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780571194711-secondhand-farewell-waltz","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
