Milan Kundera, whose dissident writings in communist Czechoslovakia transformed him into an exiled satirist of totalitarianism, has died in Paris. He was 94.

The Czech-born writer lived 50 years in Paris after emigrating in disillusionment from his Communist-ruled homeland

Milan Kundera, author of the novel “The Unbearable Lightness of Being” who lived nearly five decades in Paris after emigrating in disillusionment from his Communist-ruled homeland, has died at the age of 94.

The author of "The Joke" and "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" died in Paris. Born in Czechoslovakia, Kundera was stripped of his nationality in 1979. He was one of the few authors to have entered the prestigious editions of La Pléiade during his lifetime. He had been the victim of several macabre hoaxes on social networks before his death was announced Tuesday afternoon. He is survived by his wife, Vera, and two children.

Along with the likes of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Joseph Brodsky, and fellow Czech playwright-turned-politician-turned-president Vaclav Havel, Kundera was seen by the West -- and the democratic East, including India -- as a star dissident writer, his novels coming across as denouements against the ‘closed societies of the Soviet Empire during the last lap of the Cold War. The Literature Nobel was thought to be all but on his mantelpiece.

Czech author Milan Kundera, known for novels 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being,' 'Identity' and 'The Festival of Insignificance,' has died. He was 94.
