Book 9 out of the “6 Books to Read in 2016” is done 😃. In his iconic book “The Unbearable Lightness of Being”, Milan Kundera ponders about a lot of philosophical questions that every human being ask, and every couple stop at throughout the course of their relationship. Written from different perspectives of its main characters, and adding his own “I”, Kundera discusses the issues of infidelity and faithfulness. Is it possible to love someone while having multiple relationships with others? Is it a man’s right to have an ‘erotic friendship’? Should life be lived freely (light) or bounded (heavy)? Or is it that the heavy can become light and vice versa? Is a dream a reflection of the reality? What is the theology of shit? And what does the story of Stalin’s son death and the mythology of Oedipus relate to this story? All these questions and others lead to unraveling the mysterious contradictions of the life and death, tragedy and lust, faith and atheism, soul and body, and of course lightness and weight.
