Rating: Summary: Great Book Review: Very profound and very moving. By far, the best book by Kundera
Rating: Summary: An interesting read... Review: I wish I could read it in the original. I read a translation. It's confusing at times (perhaps, the translation?), but well worth the effort. As the characters examine their own souls, so will you. The backdrop of Prague during the 1968 occupation makes this a memorable novel.
Rating: Summary: beautiful, haunting, and lyrically articulate Review: this is one of the most amazing books I have ever read. at 20, a friend recommended I check it out, and from the first chapter I was mesmerized. when I wasn't reading it, it haunted me....I could not stop thinking about the implications of Kundera's observations, his theories, his philosophies. his commentary on relationships, life, men, and women is so accurate and telling. he is able to put into words these little nuances and idiosynchrasies that make us human. this book is truly special- filled with meaning and relevance. I have recommended it to everyone I know.
Rating: Summary: Brings light to Life. Review: A great book for those that are confused about life and the meaning of philosophy. This will unwrap a whole new understanding.
Rating: Summary: A great discovery Review: I found this book in the "ENGLISH" section of a Prag bookstore. The title rang a bell so I bought it. That night on the train to Germany, I couldn't put it down. Kundera is one of the few authors I've found who seems to look at life in the same light I do. If you're curious about life and philosophy, read this book.
Rating: Summary: Slow start but very interesting Review: The book was an unusual one and confusing at times, but overall it was an o.k. book.
Rating: Summary: perfect Review: It's one of my favorite books that I've read it many times. But whenever I brush it up I can find something new just like the first time. Fortunately, I also watched the movie. It's a good one.
Rating: Summary: A masterpiece! Review: "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" is a masterpiece! A truly geniune work that must be a part of everyone's library. Thought-provoking, honest and real, it gives clarity and hope to every facet of life.
Rating: Summary: wonderful Review: it is amazing... i have not seen the movie but it's unbelievable that they were able to make a movie - i can not imagine that.
Rating: Summary: Man muß lesen das!.. Review: One of the greatest books in my life that taught me how not to take everyhing in the life too seriously.
