 Amazon.co.uk: Immortality: Books
In Immortality, his presence is more clearly defined than ever, with numerous first person passages being included in which he describes meetings with his (presumably fictional) friend Professor Avenarius.
While these comments may also hold true of the novel's two predeccesors, I think that through examining these issues through the prism of man's 'longing for immortality', Kundera makes some of his most penetrating observations.
Although three novels have succeeded it, 'Immortality' is the last truly great Kundera novel, belonging not so much to this trilogy as to that represented by the earlier architectural masterpieces, 'The Book of Laughter and Forgetting' and 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being'.

 House of Starry Wisdom
The name of the House comes from a fictional cult in H.P. Lovecraft's short story The Haunter of the Dark.

It is the mission of the House of Starry Wisdom to foster initiatory study of these topics, leading to insights—and deeds—of a novel and transformative nature, furthering the Aeon.
