«L'insoutenable légèreté de l'être» is Milan Kundera's philosophical novel, published by Gallimard in paperback (480 pages, in French).
Kundera starts from what remains after oblivion: of Tomás, Beethoven or Franz, only inscriptions, gestures and a musical phrase survive. From these traces, the novel reflects on the weight and lightness of decisions, and turns kitsch into the meeting point between being and oblivion.
Originally published in Czech as «Nesnesitelná lehkost bytí» in 1984, this edition in the Folio collection includes the French translation by François Kérel.
A work of Central European philosophical fiction, common in reading groups, for those seeking a literary reflection on memory and oblivion.
Milan Kundera was a Czech and French novelist. Kundera went into exile in France in 1975, acquiring citizenship in 1981. His Czechoslovak citizenship was revoked in 1979, but he was granted Czech citizenship in 2019.
