Vysvětluje proč se Nesnesitelná lehkost bytí jmenuje tak jak se jmenuje.
Na mém blogu se tento mnou nenapsaný text objevuje ze dvou důvodů: miluju Kunderovu Nesnesitelnou lehkost bytí a je to určitě zajímavá úvaha.

This idea, which, according to Kundera, is as comic as it is ingenious, is that the weight of our being is inversely proportional to the growth of the population on the planet. Democritos represented 1/400,000,000 of humankind. Gombrowicz himself represented 1/2,000,000,000 of humankind. In this kind of arithmetic, says Kundera, each of us today weighs 1/6,000,000,000, and such lightness, which progressively reduces the weight of our being, starts becoming unbearable. From this perspective, because of the continuous growth of the population on the planet, we are condemned to a continuous (and potentially lethal) rush toward lightness. In fact, each of us would be confined to a smaller and smaller space, and condemned to a continuous loss of weight. As the clinical studies reported above also show, lightness may be physically unbearable, and may even put our own existence at risk.
