Kundera masterpiece becomes Czech bestseller after 20 year wait
Czech writer Milan Kundera's most famous novel "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" has become a best seller in his homeland after a 20-year wait for its general release in his native language.

Yes, it is true, Nesnesitelná lehkost bytí, perhaps the best-known book written in Czech, was published for the first time in the Czech Republic this year more than 20 years after its original publication in France. It had been available in Czech since 1985 but that edition is long out of print. This is a good example of the troubled relationship the Czech nation has with some of its heroes.
