The Unbearable Lightness of Being [平装]

《不能承受的生命之轻》内容简介：最沉重的负担压迫着我们，让我屈服于它，把我们压到地上，但在历代的爱情诗中，女人总渴望承受一个男性身体的重量。于是，最沉重的负担同时也成了最强盛的生命力的影像。负担越重，我们的生命越贴近大地，它就越真切实在。
相反，当负担完全缺失，人就会变得比空气还轻，就会飘起来，就会远离大地和地上的生命，人也就只是一个半真的存在，其运动也会变得自由而没有意义。
那么，到底选择什么？是霞还是轻？

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." A major achievement from one of the world's truly great writers, Milan Kundera's magnificent novel of passion and politics, infidelity and ideas, encompasses the extremes of comedy and tragedy, illuminating all aspects of human existence.

不能承受的生命之轻

他的作品使我坚信人类一定会生存下去，世界一定会生存下去，我全心全意在这个世界上所信仰、寻求和热望的一切都将恢复其人性的面貌。
感激他是因为在这个悲剧的今天，他使我比任何时候都更强烈地体会到，面对不朽的东西，即使死神也无能为力。
