The Joke by Milan Kundera is a powerful exploration of personal revenge, political ideology, and the absurdity of life under totalitarian rule. Set in communist Czechoslovakia, the novel follows Ludvik, a man whose sarcastic joke leads to life-altering consequences, prompting him to seek retribution years later. Through dark humor, irony, and emotional depth, Kundera examines how private lives are entangled with political systems, and how a seemingly trivial act can spiral into profound personal tragedy.
