The Unbearable Lightness of Being (Czech: Nesnesitelná lehkost bytí) is a 1984 novel by Milan Kundera, about two women, two men, a dog, and their lives in the 1968 Prague Spring period of Czechoslovak history. Although written in 1982, the novel was not published until two years later, in a French translation (as L'insoutenable légèreté de l'être).[1] The same year, it was translated to English from Czech by Michael Henry Heim and excerpts of it were published in The New Yorker.[2] The original Czech text was published the following year.
