RIP to a real one. Also had my Kundera phase and at the time Unbearable Lightness of Being was the best book I had ever read in my life. Probably time for a re-read.

[@ic3019]

A fenomenal authour indeed - his ideas are so innovative and masterfully put on paper, his books are definitely one of the most striking and mindset challenging ones i ve read.This legend will be missed, without him literature wouldn't be the same, RIP 🙏🙏

[@FallenAdam]

I really need to reread this. It's been nearly twenty years, and somehow in that time my memories of this book have faded to "Prague, Soviets, relationships. That's about it really."

[@judesolis481]

@@kalkwiese It’s been fifteen years! I think it’s time for me to re-read it, too- but with a heavy heart, for news of Kundera’s death just came out today. He was 94.

[@ondrejchaloupka5208]

Czech literature student (from the Czech republic) here. It is not entirely true that he disliked Czechia till his death. It is confirmed that he has secretly visited it a few times after moving to France and he was actually still interested in our country, politics and stuff. And about his popularity - he is probably the favorite author amongst our students.

10/10 book. Thank you for doing this review, it got me to read this book, and it’s just…wow. Brilliant.

[@MichelleSullivan]

RIP Milan Kundera 😢

[@alexrose9388]

I'm reading this now and have to say i'm finding it tough going. Why does Existential freedom always boil down to having loads of sexual partners?

[@JustAThought155]

Okay, let me first admit I am a Kundera novice. So, as I listen to the opening of this review, let me get this straight. Kundera’s beliefs and the book’s title suggest “The Unbearable Lightness of Being” is based on a philosophy, or an eclectic collection of beliefs, that releases beings from, say, any convictions established by belief systems-common to man: i.e., religions-that suggests freedom of life rejects the concept of life extending beyond a being’s daily existence: e.g., an afterlife; yes or no? Assuming this belief is true, living life on a daily basis without striving to do good for an afterlife, creates a version of eclecticism. Therefore, has the author used sex as a form of ungoverned freedom that is released from a being’s convictions to establish or suggest mankind can in fact fulfill their own desires without the cost of guilt or internal convictions? If so, could it be suggested, a being’s conscience exists from uncomfortable externally imposed rules that govern a need to dismiss or accept a belief system that serves as the basis for a conscience eclecticism? Basically, I am pondering this, could the suggested belief system being introduced in this story, or is the foundation for Kundera’s accepted and shared theory, be the quest for mankind to operate with freedom from accountable to anyone or thing? If so, I think an internal conviction has to exist as a basis for one to seek freedom from convictions via an external source. Meaning, why do certain things bother beings internally; are the internal convictions based on external beliefs? If this is too deep, please dismiss it. As a novice of Kundera’s writings, I happened upon this review after seeking a Daniel Day Lewis movie that I could watch…for free. So happens, the title of the only free movie available was unfamiliar to me: The Unbearable Lightness of Being. I therefore watched your review to gain insight into the movie before spending two hours watching it. However, your review caused me to research the author and the philosophy he once adhered himself to or suggested each Being should accept or wrestle with as truth.

[@mastersal4644]

This was one of my favourite books in college. I am scared for this review 🙈🙈 Ok - phew. You liked it. And I need to read it again

[@KDbooks]

I like how this is now becoming a common comment on my videos 😂

[@CO8848_2]

A sophisticated, but ultimately pointless book.

[@blinkbubs3994]

I don't know about that. I found that it gave me a lot of clarity towards my relationships, and to give myself grace amidst all the difficulties and complexities that arise through them. Seeing as people can choose continuously to make decisions that hurt ourselves or others is a wake up call to learning to embrace courage and to accept our feelings of uncertainty in love, politics, and more. Why do you think it's pointless?

[@pleasereadyourbook]

Nice one! I need to re-read this now.

[@KDbooks]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@averagefan2397]

he passed away yesterday

[@painbow6528]

Meh... it was fine.

[@foufouthksefouskwth2771]

yippiyapper i didnt like this book i hoped watching reviews would change my mind. i was wrong. anywayyy

[@FrankOdonnell-ej3hd]

sounds like one I should have read yrs ago but now probably never will anyway good to know he's still with us have only read one story in it he describes romance using the language of a police state for example when he first talks to a woman he says she's now been "arrested" later she is "interrogated" and so on reminds me a little of michel houellebecq though a lot less dark

[@FrankOdonnell-ej3hd]

just WHO are you and what is your agenda I need an explanation please

[@FrankOdonnell-ej3hd]

​as i said to a boss once when he refused me a raise: bye bye!@@kalkwiese

[@FrankOdonnell-ej3hd]

just heard today he passed think he was 96⚛

[@bookcombe]

I think the Czechs feel similarly warm towards Kundera, too

[@KDbooks]

I will be honest, I know baseline wiki knowledge on this topic 😂

[@krystofegner4406]

Idk i like him

[@drawyourbook876]

The guy holds grudges

[@FrankOdonnell-ej3hd]

so what's wrong with that⚛

[@dominicgamboa2554]

RIP

[@edgarfranceschi8338]
