The Unbearable Lightness of Being was first published in 1984 and was at once hailed by the critics as a contemporary classic.
‘Read this book; here is a writer who really matters.’
Malcolm Bradbury
‘This is a brilliant novel from someone who, amongst Rushdie and Marquez, is one of our masters of magic realism.’
Cosmopolitan
‘There are novels which are tragic, or entertaining, and this one is both. There are very few that give a fresh perspective on existence, and force the reader to reassess his own life and attitudes. Kundera is consistently interesting.’
