The Unbearable Lightness of Being
The plot unfolds in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s and 1970s against the backdrop of... political upheavals and the personal choices of the characters. At the center of the story are the relationships of surgeon Tomas, his wife Tereza, artist Sabina, and philosopher Franz. The author explores themes of love and betrayal, freedom and responsibility, fate and chance.
Kundera raises philosophical questions about the «lightness» and «heaviness» of being, prompting the reader to reflect on the price of personal freedom and the responsibility for the choices made.
The novel has been translated into dozens of languages and adapted into a Hollywood film. It is a work that combines intellectual depth, emotional power, and artistic elegance.
