Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan KunderaKundera's tremendously popular classic has been hailed by "Newsweek" as having "raised the novel of ideas to a new level of dreamlike lyricism and emotional intensity". "The Unbearable Lightness of Being," first published in a French translation from Czech in 1984, is no love letter to the city; it is a message from a time of oppression, and one worth carrying for perspective on a trip through Prague. Mr. Kundera submerges the reader in the undercurrents of political life, the rough passages of far-too-recent vintage and the personal repercussions of an invasive, claustrophobic time. --Nicholoas Kulish, The New York Times, March 2008 Paperback 320 pages - (5/99)
