MILAN KUNDERA - GEBRAUCHT THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTN...

In this novel - a story of irreconcilable loves and infidelities - Milan Kundera addresses
himself to the nature of twentieth-century 'Being' In a world in which lives are shaped by
irrevocable choices and by fortuitous events  a world in which everything occurs but once 
existence seems to lose its substance  its weight. We feel  says the novelist  'the unbearable
lightness of being' - not only as the consequence of our private acts but also in the public
sphere  and the two inevitably intertwine. Juxtaposing Prague  Geneva  Thailand and the United
States  this masterly novel encompasses the extremes of comedy and tragedy  and embraces  it
seems  all aspects of human existence. It offers a wide range of brilliant and amusing
philosophical speculations and it descants on a variety of styles. In this classic novel
Kundera draws together the Czechoslovakia of the Prague Spring and the Russian invasion  the
philosophy of Nietzsche  and the love affairs of a number of heartbreakingly familiar
characters.
