Abstract
This article is concerned with Milan Kundera’s essay ‘A kidnapped West, or Culture bows out’, which first appeared in 1984. It considers Kundera’s essay in the context of the Reagan/Thatcher/Kohl era, examining the mythical elements of Kundera’s ‘Central Europe’, its diversity and its unifying elements. Rather than regard the essay as a museum piece, the article reflects on Kundera’s lasting and unresolved concern with the impact of totalitarianism – communist, Nazi and capitalist – on European identity and culture.
