All too often, this brilliant novel of thwarted love and revenge miscarried has been read for its political implications. Now, a quarter century after The Joke was first published and several years after the collapse of the Soviet-imposed Czechoslovak regime, it becomes easier to put such implications into perspective in favor of valuing the book (and all Kundera 's work) as what it truly is: great, stirring literature that sheds new light on the eternal themes of human existence. The present edition provides English-language readers an important further means toward revaluation of The Joke . For reasons he describes in his Author's Note, Milan Kundera devoted much time to creating (with the assistance of his American publisher-editor) a completely revised translation that reflects his original as closely as any translation possibly can: reflects it in its fidelity not only to the words and syntax but also to the characteristic dictions and tonalities of the novel's narrators. The result is nothing less than the restoration of a classic.

读后感

钱钟书的散文集《写在人生边上》里有这么一句话，倒是可以做《玩笑》的注解：这是人生对人生观开的一个玩笑。  

重读《玩笑》。路德维克，这个熟悉的名字，曾经伴随我某个逝去的年代，最近又重新拾起 熟悉的感觉，那流露在字里行间的冷静，文字的干干净净，没有一句废话，所以上海译文出版社给我留下了相当的好感。。。。 封皮是有设计风格的，连书签都是，那个手掌说明什么呢，有趣的隐喻 ...  

用户评价

“年轻人有不同的面孔，不是因为他们的虚伪，而是他们有足够时间去选择自己想要的面具。” 为了在女孩子面前故作深沉，开了一个政治笑话“long time Trotsky”。某种程度上小说这个主人公就像年轻时的Trotsky：浪漫，才华横溢，优秀的共产主义接班人。

是时候检验一下是这本小说不合我胃口还是我英语水平不行了）
