| General note |
'A cult figure.' Guardian<br/>'A dark and brilliant achievement.' Ian McEwan<br/>'Shamelessly clever ... Exhilaratingly subversive and funny.' Independent<br/>'A modern classic ... As relevant now as when it was first published. ' John Banville<br/><br/>A young woman is in love with a successful surgeon; a man torn between his love for her and his womanising. His mistress, a free-spirited artist, lives her life as a series of betrayals; while her other lover stands to lose everything because of his noble qualities. In a world where lives are shaped by choices and events, and everything occurs but once, existence seems to lose its substance and weight - and we feel 'the unbearable lightness of being'.<br/><br/>The Unbearable Lightness of Being encompasses passion and philosophy, infidelity and ideas, the Prague Spring and modern America, political acts and private desires, comedy and tragedy - in fact, all of human existence.<br/><br/>What readers are saying:<br/>'Some books change your mind, some change your heart, the very best change your whole world ... A mighty piece of work, that will shape your life forever.'<br/><br/>'One of the best books I've ever read ... A book about love and life, full of surprises. Beautiful.'<br/><br/>'This book is going to change your life ... It definitely leaves you with a hangover after you're done reading.'<br/><br/>'A must read - loved it, such beautiful observations on life, love and sexuality.'<br/><br/>'Kundera writes about love as if in a trance so the beauty of it is enchanting and dreamy ... Will stay with you forever.'<br/><br/>'A beautiful novel that helps you understand life better ... Loved it.'<br/><br/>'One of those rare novels full of depth and insight into the human condition ... Got me reading Camus and Sartre.'<br/><br/>'One of the best books I have ever read ... An intellectual love story if ever there was one.' |
