This trilogy is not comparable to anything I have read before. These post-modern novels tell the story of the identical twins Lucas and Claus who are sent to the countryside during the war and suddenly have to adapt to a completely new life. To maintain one part of their previous identity from their city life, they challenge themselves to write in their Notebook the truth and nothing but the truth. The story resembles a fairy tale, with central the central topics of identity, brotherly bond, and human cruelty.

This trilogy plays a psychological game with the reader because until the very end - and even now I am still confused - we do not know what the actual truth is.

To this enigmatic story adds the very brutal, provocative and direct writing of Kristóf, who fled Hungary during the Revolution in 1956 and settled down in Switzerland, where she made French her new writing language.

I couldn't just write about the first book of the triology, because as soon as you start reading one, you can't stop and will be done with the third book faster than you expected.

This novel finds the perfect balance between romance, philosophy and the harsh reality of politics in Czechoslovakia under communism, without ever losing the curiosity of the reader. The title should be read as a trailer for this beautifully poetic writing. The book tells the story of two women and two men during the Prague Spring in 1968, whilst making out of it a timeless piece of literature.

If you haven't read anything by Kundera yet, then this is the perfect book to start your adventure.

This is the perfect book for architecture lovers and especially those who are into brutalism.

This book is "uncovering the stories of the designers who built fascinating architectural marvels during the Soviet regime, Soviet Bus Stops is an ode to the power of individual creativity that would not be suppressed."
