Title: The Farewell Waltz - Milan Kundera - book
Summary :
In a spa town with an old-fashioned charm, eight characters embrace to the rhythm of an accelerating waltz: a pretty nurse; a fanciful gynecologist; a rich American (both saint and Don Juan); a famous trumpeter; a former prisoner, victim of the purges and about to leave his country... A "midsummer night's dream". A "black vaudeville". The most serious questions are posed with a blasphemous lightness that makes us understand that the modern world has deprived us even of the right to tragedy.
