I did not find this to be as good as several of Kundera's works, but it is still compelling. Possibly more politically charged than many of his books, it deals with a person, several persons really, who are cutoff from their homeland and families. Well worth reading if you have already read other Kundera works, but not the book by him that should be read first.

Χαρακτηριστικός Κούντερα. Εισχωρεί στον ανθρώπινο νου, σε σκοτεινά και ανομολογητα μονοπάτια με γραφή πιο φωτεινή και εύπεπτη.
Όχι το καλύτερο βιβλίο του αλλά πάντα αριστοτέχνης στην σκέψη και στην αποτύπωση.

Milán Kundera nos da otra vez un libro que se enreda, se complica y se narra con la visión de 8 personajes diferentes.
Pero fuera de la historia que es complicada, nos da una visión de cada uno de los personajes, sus intereses, un fin extra al que parece que persiguen. Pero todo esto en una narración tan rápida, tan amena, tan cuidada que te lleva de la mano a conocer la historia final de estos amorosos.
Kundera, un escritor que vive exiliado de su tierra natal, nos la describe como fue, lo que posiblemente vivió y nos da la semblanza del rigor de la invasión rusa a su país.
