Nesnesitelná lehkost bytí = The Unbearable Lightness of Being = Sonzai no taerarenai karusa [Japanese Edition]

This is a Japanese edition of Kundera's best-known novel, set in Prague during and after the Soviet invasion of 1968. It follows a surgeon, Tomas, who prizes freedom and casual affairs, and Tereza, who loves him deeply, along with the painter Sabina and her lover Franz. Mixing narrative with philosophical reflection, the book asks whether a life that happens only once can carry any weight, and whether lightness is a freedom or a burden. It is a landmark of twentieth century European fiction.
