The Unbearable Lightness of Being Czech Nesnesiteln lehkost byt is a 1. Milan Kundera, about two women, two men, a dog and their lives in the 1. Prague Spring period of Czechoslovak history. Although written in 1. French translation as LInsoutenable lgret de ltre. The original Czech text was published the following year. PremiseeditThe Unbearable Lightness of Being takes place mainly in Prague in the late 1. It explores the artistic and intellectual life of Czech society from the Prague Spring of 1. Czechoslovakia by the Soviet Union and three other Warsaw Pact countries and its aftermath. The main characters are Tom, an adulterous surgeon his wife Tereza, a photographer anguished by her husbands infidelities Toms lover Sabina, a free spirited artist Franz, a Swiss university professor and lover of Sabina and finally imon, Toms estranged son from an earlier marriage. CharacterseditTom A Czech surgeon and intellectual. Tom is a womanizer who lives for his work. He considers sex and love to be distinct entities he has sex with many women but loves only his wife, Tereza. He sees no contradiction between these two positions. He explains womanizing as an imperative to explore female idiosyncrasies only expressed during sex. At first he views his wife as a burden whom he is obliged to take care of. After the Soviet invasion, they escape to Zurich, where he starts womanizing again. Tereza, homesick, returns to Prague with the dog. He quickly realizes he wants to be with her and follows her home. He has to deal with the consequences of a letter to the editor in which he metaphorically likened the Czech Communists to Oedipus. Eventually fed up with life in Prague under the Communist regime, Tom and Tereza move to the countryside. He abandons his twin obsessions of work and womanizing and discovers true happiness with Tereza. His epitaph, written by his Catholic son, is He Wanted the Kingdom of God on Earth. Tereza Young wife of Tom. A gentle, intellectual photographer, she delves into dangerous and dissident photojournalism during the Soviet occupation of Prague. Tereza does not condemn Tom for his infidelities, instead characterizing herself as a weaker person. Tereza is mostly defined by her view of the body as disgusting and shameful, due to her mothers embrace of the bodys grotesque functions. Throughout the book she fears simply being another body in Toms array of women. Once Tom and Tereza move to the countryside, she devotes herself to raising cattle and reading. During this time she learns about her anima through an adoration of pet animals, reaching the conclusion that they were the last link to the paradise abandoned by Adam and Eve and becomes alienated from other people. Sabina Toms mistress and closest friend. Sabina lives her life as an extreme example of lightness, taking profound satisfaction in the act of betrayal. She declares war on kitsch and struggles against the constraints imposed upon her by her puritan ancestry and the Communist Party. This struggle is shown through her paintings. She occasionally expresses excitement at humiliation, as shown through the use of her grandfathers bowler hat, a symbol that is born during one sexual encounter with Tom, before it eventually changes meaning and becomes a relic of the past. Later in the novel, she begins to correspond with imon while living under the roof of some older Americans who admire her artistic skill. Franz Sabinas lover and a Geneva professor and idealist. Franz falls in love with Sabina, whom he considers a liberal and romantically tragic Czech dissident. He is a kind and compassionate man. As one of the novels dreamers, Franz bases his actions on loyalty to the memories of his mother and Sabina. His life revolves completely around books and academia, eventually to the extent that he seeks lightness and ecstasy by participating in marches and protests, the last of which is a march in Thailand to the border with Cambodia. In Bangkok after the march, he is mortally wounded during a mugging. Karenin The dog of Tom and Tereza. Although she is a female dog, the name is masculine and is a reference to Alexei Karenin, the husband in Anna Karenina. Karenin displays extreme dislike of change. Once moved to the countryside, Karenin becomes more content as she is able to enjoy more attention from her owners. She also quickly befriends a pig named Mefisto. During this time Tom discovers that Karenin has cancer and even after removing a tumor it is clear that Karenin is going to die. On her deathbed she unites Tereza and Tom through her smile at their attempts to improve her health. Philosophical underpinningseditChallenging Friedrich Nietzsches concept of eternal recurrence the idea that the universe and its events have already occurred and will recur ad infinitum, the storys thematic meditations posit the alternative that each person has only one life to live and that which occurs in life occurs only once and never again thus the lightness of being. Moreover, this lightness also signifies freedom Tom and Sabina display this lightness, whereas Terezas character is weighed down. In the Constance Garnett translation of Tolstoys War and Peace she gives us the phrase strange lightness of being during the description of Prince Andreys death. In contrast, the concept of eternal recurrence imposes a heaviness on life and the decisions that are made to borrow from Nietzsches metaphor, it gives them weight. Nietzsche believed this heaviness could be either a tremendous burden or great benefit depending on the individuals perspective. The unbearable lightness in the title also refers to the lightness of love and sex, which are themes of the novel. Kundera portrays love as fleeting, haphazard and possibly based upon endless strings of coincidences, despite holding much significance for humans. In the novel, Nietzsches concept is attached to an interpretation of the German adage Einmal ist keinmal one occurrence is not significant, namely an all or nothing cognitive distortion that Tom must overcome in his heros journey. He initially believes If we only have one life to live, we might as well not have lived at all, and specifically with respect to committing to Tereza There is no means of testing which decision is better, because there is no basis for comparison. The novel resolves this question decisively that such a commitment is in fact possible and desirable. PublicationeditThe Unbearable Lightness of Being 1. Czech until 1. 98.
