He's smart and intelligent, although he has been chastised in the past for being an "independent thinker," which is not encouraged among Party members. He went to University and was considering taking one of many high-level positions upon his graduation. He was dating a girl named Marketa and well immersed in the Socialist Party. Jahn had his life fully thought out when he was a teenager - or so he thought. When Jahn sees a woman that he once loved dearly, he is taken back to his past and spends the majority of the novel reminiscing on what happened to him as an adolescent. We will later learn that his goal and intentions are anything but admirable or heroic. The novel starts with Jahn entering into his hometown of Morava with a specific goal in mind. Instead, the novel concentrates on how Jahn's actions influence others and affect those individuals that come in contact with him. The novel covers the events in his life from various perspectives roughly from the time of his adolescence until the time he is 37, but does not follow a linear pattern. The Joke is a novel by Milan Kundera that is about a man named Ludvik Jahn and his life until the age of 37.
