About Žert

Milan Kundera's The Joke (1967) follows Ludvík Jahn, expelled from the Czech Communist Party for writing a sardonic postcard, as he returns fifteen years later to take revenge on the man who denounced him — only to discover that history has already made his revenge meaningless. The first of Kundera's great novels and a foundational work of Central European dissident fiction.
