Interweaves story and dream, past and present, and philosophy and poetry in the sardonic and erotic tale of two couples--Tomas and Teresa, and Sabina and her Swiss lover, Gerhart

Medlemsvurdering:
Milan Kundera's "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" is truly one of the best books I have ever read in my entire life. From the very first two chapters of the book, wich purely describe some philosophical thoughts through time, there is a transition to the rest of the book, where the love story between Tomas and Teresa is presented beautifully. Philosophical paragraphs and thoughts are integrated smoothly within the main plot, which makes this wonderful piece of art worht reading a thousand times. I never thought that such books did actually exist, but incidentally my teacher said we were to read it in class, and I will be ever thankful for that. Read it. Regretting is against nature's laws, in this case.

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.
