MILAN KUNDERA ET L’AUTHENTICITÉ DU ROMAN
MILAN KUNDERA AND THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE NOVEL

Summary/Abstract: Both in his essays and in his novels, Milan Kundera suggests an existential or “super-personal”reading pattern, which, in his opinion, is the only one able to reveal the authenticity of his writings.This reading pattern consists of seeking the archetypes of human conditions in the world of thewritten text conceived as a “field of possibilities” situated outside History. It is opposed to what theauthor of this contribution calls the “personal” or “emotional” reading, namely that of the readerseeking his own life experience in the text of fiction.
