Abstract

"Slow" inherited the art of Kundera's polyphonic novel features, generally divided into three main lines: Ruth Dove to Iraq than the simple exposition of the dimensional look • Denon novel "no tomorrow," the description of the appearance of contemporary society phenomena of the show, three lines were intertwined together constitute the "slow" the main frame. The three main line Kundera outlined in the ancient Greek - the eighteenth century - contemporary social hedonism pedigree, three times in the novel framework of cross-cutting, three different historical situation of the same proposition. Three times more than the difference between hedonism thinking too similar, so these three authors presented side by side, more to point out that there were times during the evolution of the Que loss and fracture, can we take this break and the appearance of a real relationship for the induction of subversion. This paper aims to "slow" in the pedigree of hedonism established the relationship between truth and appearance is how it affects the "joy" of understanding. Carrying on the artistic features of Kundera's polyphonic novels, La Lenteur roughly revolves around three axes: the simple explication about Epicure's thoughts, the description of Vivant Denon's No Tomorrow, and the presentation about the various phenomena of the contemporary society of spectacles; the three axes are interwoven to construct the main framework of La Lenteur. The three axes consist with the hedonistic genealogy sketched by Kundera-ancient Greece, the eighteenth century and the contemporary society. The three ages intersect within the framework of the novel, while the three different historical situations explore the same proposition. The hedonistic thoughts of the three ages are more different than similar; therefore, the author juxtaposes the three ages, inclined to point out the lacks and breakages found during the process of the evolution of ages, which we can generalize as the subversion of the relationship between the reality and images. This article is meant to investigate how the relationship between the reality and images affects the understanding about "pleasure" through the hedonistic genealogy established in La Lenteur
