Milan Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being, published in 1984, tells the story of the intertwined lives of two couples navigating love, politics, and existential dilemmas in Soviet-era Czechoslovakia. The story primarily focuses on Tomas, a womanizing surgeon, Teresa, his lover who struggles with Tomas' infidelities, Sabina, a free-spirited artist, and Franz, Sabina's lover. Kundera's novel is considered one of the modern classics of late 20th century for its enduring relevance and exploration of philosophical themes, particularly within the context of love and politics in communist Czechoslovakia.
