The Unbearable Lightness of Being. A novel by Milan Kundera. Translated by Friðrik Rafnsson.
One day, the maid Teresa stands in the doorway of Dr. Thomas in Prague, having come to stay. The country girl is welcomed with open arms by the female elite, but what happens next is beyond their control. They are just as much a part of the story as their homeland, Czechoslovakia, which has its fate at the mercy of its larger neighbor to the east.
Love, sex, politics, philosophy, death – everything is brilliantly intertwined in a somber and complex story where the freedom that lives in dreams becomes a welcome refuge for people in the unbearable turmoil of existence.
