| Summary: | The purpose of this article is to discuss the totalitarian experience of a human being through the
study of The Joke, the first novel by the Czech writer Milan Kundera, written in 1965. Although the
work allows us to approach the phenomenon of Soviet totalitarianism through the historical scenario
in which the characters develop, alluding without any doubt to the apogee and decay of the
Soviet regime in Czechoslovakia, this paper intents to place totalitarianism as a tendency contained
in the modern individual. That is, the representation of totalitarianism as an existential situation. |
