Jacques and His Master is a deliciously witty and entertaining
"variation" on Diderot's novel Jacques le Fatalist, written for
Milan Kundera's "private pleasure" in the aftermath of the Russian
invasion of Czechoslovakia.
When the "heavy Russian irrationality" fell on Czechoslovakia,
Milan Kundera explains, he felt drawn to the spirit of the
eighteenth century--"And it seemed to me that nowhere was it to be
found more densely concentrated than in that banquet of
intelligence, humor, and fantasy, Jacques le Fataliste."
The upshot was this "Homage to Diderot," which has now been
performed throughout the United States and Europe. Here, Jacques
and His Master, newly translated by Simon Callow, is a text that
will delight Kundera's admirers throughout the English-speaking
world.
