Una novela sobre las trampas de la maternidad, el destino, las vidas equivocadas y las vidas no vividas.

La madre de Jaromil es una mujer posesiva que mima en exceso a su hijo y que desprecia a su marido, un discreto ingeniero en cuyo interior se esconde un verdadero héroe. Alentado por la madre, que le celebra todas las gracias, Jaromil entra en la adolescencia creyéndose un poeta. Mientras su madre tiene con el profesor de dibujo de Jaromil una aventura que la llenará de remordimientos, su hijo conoce las dificultades de trabar amistad con sus compañeros de colegio y trata de ocultar en sus poemas sus primeras experiencias eróticas. Poco después creará en su imaginación a un personaje llamado Xavier, que vive lo que a él se le niega. Cuando ingresa a la universidad y en 1948 se instala en el país el comunismo con toda su dureza, Jaromil, convertido en un poeta del régimen, todavía ignora que su vida no es sino una eterna huida y, lo que es peor, que toda decisión acarrea consecuencias mucho más graves de lo que uno imagina.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


"I will say no more about this lacerating book except to urge it upon all who care about literature in our difficult era." -- Boston Globe

"A sly and merciless lampoon of revolutionary romanticism. . . Kundera commits some of the funniest literary savaging since Evelyn Waugh polished off Dickens in A Handful of Dust."-- Time

Milan Kundera initially intended to call this novel The Lyrical Age. The lyrical age, according to him, is youth, and this novel, above all, is an epic of adolescence; an ironic epic that tenderly erodes sacrosanct values: childhood, motherhood, revolution, and even poetry.

Jaromil is in fact a poet. His mother made him a poet and accompanies him (figuratively) to his love bed and (literally) to his deathbed. A ridiculous and touching character, horrifying and totally innocent ("innocence with its bloody smile"!), Jaromil is at the same time a true poet. He's no creep, he's Rimbaud. Rimbaud entrapped by the communist revolution, entrapped in a somber farce.

My favorite for sublimation
My go to brand for sublimation, everytime. You can't go wrong. Great quality tumblers. They will hold ice longer than any other off brand I've tried. Rims won't leak as long as you have them on correctly.

I love this brand
I just started doing sublimation cups and would buy them at hobby lobby, but the market is saturated and they’re always out. So, I just bought a 4 pack from this company to try. They turned out great, I just don’t like metal straws, so I buy plastic ones separately. Then I went up to the 8 pack and again, wasn’t disappointed. They don’t sweat, the ice stays solid and the water stays cold overnight. I see sub cups and haven’t had anyone complain yet. They also sub really well. This is now my go-to company for sub cups.
