Time is not only a metaphysical concept, but also an important dimensional in literary studies. Exactly, time is "situation" space in which every novelist in the concrete creation could not escape from. The unique relationship of the perception and experience of time is always a "metaphor" in the form of hidden in the texts, which not only a specific existing way of the subject oneself, even the deep thinking of the whole nationality, the possibility of human social being also includes among them. Milan Kundera's novels are also concerns on time consciously. His novels, whether in the text layer or in the ideological quality, are deeply branded with the time of its mark. It should be noted that the time of Kundera' novels have always connected with the "being" of meditation closely. Particularly:Chapter one tries to card briefly from the history of time, finding out the inherent relationships between time and beings of human. Then with the visual of "history", grasp the deep essence between time and beings of human.Chapter two, holding the concept of time in Milan Kundera's novels from macroscopic angle, explains the following three aspects:Firstly, investigates the background of time consciousness in Milan Kundera's novels--the time of terminal paradox and finds out the core spirit--the spirit of terminal paradox. Secondly, collective time is shown as surmounting to individual memory form the European spirit of the whole. It is a result of period of terminal paradox, which influenced by the spirit paradox again. Finally, the paradox proposition that three groups concern time is launched:death and immortal, inevitability and contingency, memory and forgetting. Probe varied possibility of "being" into the subject in concrete time circumstance or under ultimate paradox spirit which is possible, attempting to wake, by the strength of novel, the "being" in the world at modern times up which was forgotten.
