I love all of Kundera's books but this one is one of my favorites. He is a master of introspection and writes in a style rarely seen today. Fine modern literature. Reads effortlessly yet intelligent and often profound.

Very Great Love Stories! particularly ones which are full of misunderstanding,

A collection of stories on a theme. There are some brilliant pieces. Honestly, this book is overlooked in comparison to 'Lightness of Being' and 'The Joke,' but it is very worthwhile.
