O desencanto da história em A insustentável leveza do ser (1984) - sobre literatura e sociedade

This study investigates the fictional universe created by Milan Kundera in the novel The unbearable lightness of being (1984), considering the multiple relationships established between literature and society. In the artistic-literary context, the kundera´s work appears as an aesthetic solution to the contradictions of the postwar world, especially with regard to the crisis of Soviet experience and ideological aspects referred to this. The writer's peculiar way of transposing into the novel's content and form the dissonances present in modern society, in turn, allows us to observe one way of seeing and feeling the world in a determined historical period. Thus, the solution forged by the author designates both a perspective of romance and an attitude towards the world. The narrative draws from the disenchantment of the history its own form of configuration, so that the characters in this novel are enclosed within the narrator-author's own disenchanted perspective, where, and this is a fundamental fact, the history is no longer able to provide individuals a horizon for their actions. Kundera does not narrate an apocalyptic or dystopian world, but a world in which utopia is never a possible reality or has become obsolete, perhaps laughable.
