| Description | Considered from the point of view of the center-periphery relationship, Milan Kundera’s literary career appears as a trajectory from the Moravian periphery to the immediate centrality of Prague, and from the Prague periphery, in relation to Paris, to world literature via his entry into French literature. The aim of our contribution is to show Kundera’s awareness of the axiological implications of the center-periphery relationship and the strategies he develops in order to impose himself at the center of the literary field. The analogies between the Czech and French phases of Kundera’s career also involve an important aesthetic aspect in connection with the evolution of the novelistic genre. |
