It is safe to say that the seven short stories by Milan Kundera, first published under a single binding in 1968, set the mood and tone for all the subsequent work of the cult writer. The unbearable ease with which the author dissects the lives of the main characters of the novels, as well as the feelings and fates of the characters around them, makes it possible to perceive this prose at once at ease and with philosophical self-immersion, at the same time lightly and sadly, comically and respectfully.

Sometimes it seems as if it doesn't really matter what to choose - truth or lies, love or betrayal. Life goes on outside these categories, which cannot significantly affect it.
