À propos de cet audio

A young woman is in love with a successful surgeon, a man torn between his love for her and his incorrigible womanizing. His mistress, a free-spirited artist, lives her life as a series of betrayals - while her other lover, earnest, faithful, and good, stands to lose everything because of his noble qualities. In a world where lives are shaped by irrevocable choices and fortuitous events, and everything occurs but once, existence seems to lose its substance, its weight. Hence we feel “the unbearable lightness of being.”

A major achievement from one of the world’s truly great writers, Milan Kundera’s magnificent novel of passion and politics, infidelity and ideas, encompasses the extremes of comedy and tragedy, illuminating all aspects of human existence.

Voice acting is amazing. The story is certainly my favourite, so many feelings! I know Daniel day Lewis is considered the best actor by many, but I can’t sit through the movie version having read the book many years before that. This is an example of how literature can’t be substituted by rendition of new technology.

Great performance!

the narrator was great though I think he made Thomas too mean-sounding. as such I took off one star for the performance.

There are very few books that I will read multiple times but I suspect that this will be one of them. There are so many themes, ideas, and concepts explored in this novel that I feel I would gain something new depending on where I am in my own life. This is true of any book but Kundera’s work is exceptional.

I could read this book again and again
