314 pages: 21 cm 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." Milan Kundera ; translated from the Czech by Michael Henry Heim. eng|hcze Surgeons Czechoslovakia Fiction Man-woman relationships Czechoslovakia Fiction 891.8635 K96u 1999 97800615258(pbk) 251212 20260803094232.0
