Description
A chance encounter between two people from the past and present leads to an unexpected afternoon together. Fifteen years earlier, one woman had escaped another man's advances, but now they meet again in a moment of mutual vulnerability. In this poignant story, Milan Kundera explores the complexities of human relationships and the fragility of life. Written over fifty years ago, it is a powerful portrayal of two characters who find a way to overcome their mortality for one fleeting moment. This quietly intense tale features detached yet tender prose, reminiscent of Chekhov's style, which has been praised by Philip Roth as 'a rare and precious thing'.
