40th anniversary edition of the bestselling modern classic: Milan Kundera's iconic novel of love and politics in communist Czechoslovakia.

'Shamelessly clever ... Exhilaratingly subversive and funny.' Independent
'A modern classic ... As relevant now as when it was first published. ' John Banville

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'.

Kundera's classic provoked a whole generation, encompassing passion and philosophy, body and soul, the Prague Spring and modern America, political acts and private desires, comedy and tragedy - in fact, all of human existence.

What readers are saying:
'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.'

'One of the best books I've ever read ... A book about love and life, full of surprises. Beautiful.'

'This book is going to change your life ... It definitely leaves you with a hangover after you're done reading.'

'Kundera writes about love as if in a trance so the beauty of it is enchanting and dreamy ... Will stay with you.'

Kunders vurdering

H
HMHR – 03.12.2004

– Tomas og Tereza møter hverandre ved en tilfeldighet. De kunne like gjerne aldri møtt hverandre, men de møtes, og de innleder et kjærlighetsforhold. Forholdet preges av Tomas¿ notoriske utroskap, og Terezas stille samtykke. Men det handler også om Tsjekkoslovakia sist på 1960-tallet. Det var med stor forventning jeg satte meg ned for å lese denne boken; lovprist som den har blitt av så mange. Likevel ble jeg ganske skuffet. Kundera fører et intelligent språk, men lykkes bare halvveis med å fenge meg som leser. Det blir for langsomt, han gjentar seg selv ¿ og selv om temaene han tar opp, er både interessante og tankevekkende, blir det for monotont for meg.
