Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera

Recommended by: Colleen, STL Librarian

Stacks PG5039.21.U6 N413 2004

A "novel of ideas" set in Czechoslovakia during the 1968 Soviet invasion. Very dreamlike and well written, it follows the lives of Tomas & Tereza and Sabina & Franz. In sum, this book is a political, metaphysical love story with a little bit of Nietzsche thrown in. Great book.
