The Unbearable Lightness of Being / L'insoutenable Legerete de L'etre

"The Unbearable Lightness of Being" by Milan Kundera is one of the gems of 20th-century prose. The story of the lives of two married couples unfolds in Prague in the 1960s. The author leads the reader through the complex, tangled... mazes of relationships between men and women, where their past and present, intimate and public, fantasies and reality intertwine. The book contains a wealth of elements—politics, philosophy, history, human relationships—but most of all, it holds love. Lightness is not always a blessing, and heaviness, no matter how many problems it brings, gives our lives fullness and meaning. What choice will the characters make in hope of finally finding happiness?
