Writer Milan Kundera has died at the age of 94, Czech television reported Wednesday morning. A former communist, freethinker Kundera gradually fell out with the Czechoslovak authorities and decided to live in exile after the crushing of the Prague Spring reform movement by the Soviet-led armies in 1968.
Zemřel Milan Kundera, bylo mu 94 let. Za hranicemi patřil spolu s Kafkou a Havlem k nejslavnějším českým rodákům. Jeho romány vyvolávaly pozitivní ohlas, napsal ale také řadu esejů o hudbě, literatuře či filozofii. pic.twitter.com/ZnJfY4JfVl
