{"product_id":"kundera-and-modernity-liisa-steinby-9781557536372","title":"Kundera and Modernity","description":"While a large amount of scholarship about Milan Kundera's work exists, in Liisa Steinby's opinion his work has not been studied within the context of (European) modernity as a sociohistorical and a cultural concept. Of course, he is considered to be a modernist writer (some call him even a postmodernist), but what the broader concept of modernity intellectually, historically, socially, and culturally means for him and how this is expressed in his texts has not been thoroughly examined. Steinby's book fills this vacuum by analyzing Kundera's novels from the viewpoint of his understanding of the existential problems in the culture of modernity. In addition, his relation to those modernist novelists from the first half of the twentieth century who are most important for him is scrutinized in detail. Steinby's \u003ci\u003eKundera and Modernity\u003c\/i\u003e is intended for students of modernism in literary and (comparative) cultural studies, as well as those interested in European and Central European studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Liisa Steinby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1557536376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781557536372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Purdue University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 249\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Liisa Steinby","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44124869132543,"sku":"9781557536372","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e958789c-27ed-426b-9f0d-332843586c02.jpg?v=1687439295","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kundera-and-modernity-liisa-steinby-9781557536372","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
