Podría leerse como una novela cualquiera, pero las reflexiones filosóficas le dan un extra.. me gustó mucho!
Este libro para mí ha sido un 3,5.
Milan Kundera te hace reflexionar, desde luego. ¿La levedad o el peso? ¿Vivir libre con todas las consecuencias o vivir con ciertas responsabilidades?
La insoportable levedad del ser es un libro filosófico que trata temas muy profundos y trascendentales de su época (políticos, sociales, relaciones personales y las consecuencias de las decisiones que tomamos).
La historia de Teresa y Tomás me ha gustado mucho, a pesar de que pensaba que no soportaría a Tomás como personaje, he aprendido a ver la vida desde su punto de vista. No comparto la idea de la poligamia y en este sentido he sufrido por Teresa, pero el amor que él siente por ella está a un nivel más elevado que cualquier encuentro sexual.
Franz y Sabina me han resultado muy interesantes, especialmente el final de Franz. Sabina es el personaje con el que menos he conectado, haciendo que el libro se me hiciera pesado cuando aparece ella.
Todo esto está afectado por el ambiente político de la época. Por un comunismo que se carga las libertades de todos y que impacta en su vida y en el final.

I havent really had as much time as I would like with this book
This is definitely one of the hardest pieces I have ever read.
I am not a big fan of dualism, looking for it, think about it, talking about it. Its a waste of time really. However this “lightness” is an interesting concept, showing us how to live life.
Kundera is also making up new terms that are (atleast for me) hard to understand most of the time. But they do have something to say.
And I can agree with his political statements made.
The characters are interesting but not interesting enough. This book should have been way shorter.

I am not one who enjoys stories about infidelities and yet here we are, with the book now in my favorites pile. And that is because the infidelity, the characters, the plot are merely what Kundera uses to explain the philosophy and psychology of the decisions they choose to make, the life they choose to live, the way they are and become.
I have to be honest though, there are times wherein his philosophical pondering is confusing to me, but it does makes sense the more I read. Especially at first, having different assumptions on what this book is, it has taken me by a pleasant surprise.

God what a book. Gut wrenching and sweet at the end. I enjoyed all the characters constant analysis of their lives and loves and betrayals. This is one of those book where I don’t exactly know how to feel about the characters and the events between them but am definitely going to return to one day. Like man what a book, so dense with different life. From affairs to love to politics and history and back to affairs and love and death. I think each character was contemptible in their own ways but ultimately remarkably human and forgiven.
