Esta es una extraordinaria historia de amor, o sea, de celos, de sexo, de traiciones, de muerte y también de las debilidades y paradojas de la vida cotidiana de dos parejas cuyos destinos se entrelazan irremediablemente.
Y el lector no puede sino terminar siendo el mismo personaje, cuando no todos a la vez. Y es que esta novela va dirigida al corazón, pero también a la cabeza del lector.
En efecto, los celos de Teresa por Tomás, el terco amor de éste por ella opuesto a su irrefrenable deseo de otras mujeres, el idealismo lírico y cursi de Franz, amante de Sabina, y la necesidad de ésta, amante también de Tomás, de perseguir incansable, una libertad que tan sólo la conduce a la insoportable levedad del ser, se convierten de simple anécdota en reflexión sobre problemas filosóficos que afectan a cada uno directamente, cada día.
Una brillante disección del amor que se ha convertido en uno de los grandes hitos de la literatura contemporánea.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A CLASSIC OF CONTEMPORARY FICTION WITH MORE THAN 1,000,000 COPIES SOLD, IN A HARDCOVER EDITION.
This is an extraordinary story of love--that is to say, of jealousy, sex, betrayal, death, and also of the weaknesses and paradoxes of everyday life in two couples whose destinies become irreversibly intertwined.
The reader ultimately becomes one of the characters--if not all of them at once. This novel speaks not only to the heart, but also to the mind.
Indeed, Teresa's jealousy of Tomás, his stubborn love for her contrasted with his irresistible desire for other women, the lyrical and naive idealism of Franz, Sabina's lover, and Sabina's own need--also Tomás's lover--to endlessly pursue a freedom that leads only to the unbearable lightness of being, transform what might seem like simple anecdotes into reflections on philosophical questions that affect each of us directly, every day.
A brilliant dissection of love that has become one of the great landmarks of contemporary literature.
