The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera Deluxe Trade Paperback Edition Interweaves story dream, past present, and philosophy poetry in the sardonic erotic tale of two couples--Tomas Teresa, and Sabina her Swiss lover, Gerhart. If you are a Romantic, a writer, a poet, a lover, or a philosopher--this novel is for you. Note: We only sell smart, well-written books that are fun to read. They are also all trade paperbacks (unless otherwise noted). Trade paperbacks are bigger than mass market paperbacks; they are more durable; the pages don't fall out; they have larger print; they are wider and easier to hold (especially while reading on your back) they are more affordable than cumbersome hardbacks. You can even shade your eyes from the sun and take a nap with a trade paperback.
