Set in 1968 Prague, the novel details the circumstances of life for artists and intellectuals in Communist Czechoslovakia in the wake of the Prague Spring and the subsequent invasion by the USSR. The major protagonists are Tomáš, a well-known, successful surgeon who criticizes the Czech Communists and as a result loses his position, and his wife Tereza, a photographer in anguish over her husband's many infidelities. The book also explores the worlds of two other characters, Tomáš's lover Sabina (a painter) and Sabina's lover Franz (a university professor).
The book centers on the idea that existence is full of unbearable lightness, because each of us has only one life to live: Einmal ist keinmal (once is nonce: "what happened once might never have happened at all"). Therefore, each life is, ultimately, insignificant; every decision, ultimately, does not matter. Since decisions do not matter, they are light, they don't make us suffer: they do not bind, yet simultaneously, the insignificance of our decisions — our lives, our being — is unbearably light, hence, the unbearable lightness of being. Because of the subject, some critics labeled this novel modernist, while others see it as a celebratory post-modern explosion of narrative craft.

生命中不能承受之輕 （捷克語原名： nesnesitelná lehkost bytí ）是捷克裔法國作家米蘭昆德拉於1984年所寫的小說。小說的背景設在布拉格，內容涉及相當多的哲學觀念。 米蘭昆德拉藉此奠定了他作為世界上最偉大的在世作家的地位。 （ 紐約時報語）

書中昆德拉奏響了他的四重奏：托馬斯，特瑞莎，薩賓納與弗蘭茨。通過各個人物的角度講述了了一個存在主義的主題，重還是輕？政治對人生命的扭曲程度到底有多大？昆德拉借薩­賓納的口說出了我不是反共，我是反對媚俗！ 藉此表示了他自己的取向。

Quotes：
"If every second of our lives recurs an infinite number of times, we are nailed to eternity as Jesus Christ was nailed to the cross. It is a terrifying prospect. In the world of eternal return the weight of unbearable responsibility lies heavy on every mood we make. That is why Nietzsche called the idea of eternal return the heaviest of burdens. "

引錄：
如果我們生命的每一秒中都有無數次的重複，我們就會像耶穌釘於十字架，被釘死在永恆上。這個前景是可怕的，在那永劫回歸的世界裡，無法承受的責任重荷，沉沉壓著我們的每一­個行動，這就是尼采說的永劫回歸觀是最沉重的負擔的原因吧
