The unbearable light of the being is Milan Kundera's most famous work, and The New York Times once rated it as the most important classic in the 20th century.
The original language of the work is Czech, the original title is Nesitelná lehkost Bytí, and the Chinese version 1987 was translated into Unbearable Lightness in Life, which was later reprinted by Shanghai Translation Publishing House and renamed as Unbearable Lightness in Life.
This novel describes the love life between Thomas, Teresa and Salina. But it is not a love triangle between a man and two women, but a book with complicated images, which contains many meanings: revealing the political social connotation, investigating human nature, presenting personal destiny in a specific historical and political context, and exploring the nature of gender relations.
Kundera skillfully combined these elements and wrote an extraordinary novel-both metaphorical philosophical thinking and people's life experiences of joys and sorrows.
