Content with the story, essays, biographies, etc., showing the life of the twentieth century's thinking. The book is divided into seven parts: "Face," "immortal," "struggle," "emotional" and "accidental", "clock face" and "celebrate." Although the subject appears to be seven different things, but never the content first began cleverly linked to the last one. The content of the theory from two small events about to analyze characteristics of novel writing, to view people facing life attitude, the face image and the real confusion, summed up the novelist through people-oriented, to stand there thinking about writing. As long as five hundred pages, Limmortalite is the fifth novel by Milan Kundera and published in 1990, three years before its publication in his motherland, Czechoslovakia. Published after L'insoutenable légèreté de l'être, this is the last of Kundera's novels written in his mother tongue as well as the first one based on the background of France. Combining stories, familiar essays and biographies, this is a meditation about the life in the late twentieth century. Though the seven parts of the novel-"The Face, "" Immortality, "" Fighting, "" Homo sentimentalis, "" Chance, "" The Dial, "" The Celebration "-look like seven different topics, the contents are cleverly linked throughout all these parts. This article first addresses two incidents in the novel in order to analyze the writing style of the novel as well as examine people's attitudes toward life and their confusion between images and reality. From all the above, we conclude with how the novelist reflects on the meaning of being through humanism and writing
