NESNESITELNA LEHKOST BYTI. 1988. THE ILLEGAL SAMIZDAT VERSION OF THIS IMPORTANT CZECH EXISTENTIALIST NOVEL.

Prague: Edice Prostor 5, 1988 
20.1 x 14.5cm, 172pp. Paper covers, stapled and tape bound. Xerox. Original samizdat edition of The Unbearable Lightness of Being in Czech. Minor rippling to paper but otherwise fine. Kundera’s former popularity in Czechoslovakia has somewhat been in decline since he was revealed as a minor informer for the communists while at college (although Kundera denies this was the case). A rare item indeed.
