WITH THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING PERSONALLY SIGNED BY MILAN KUNDERA

Great works from one of Europe's most important authors, featuring The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting and The Festival of Insignificance. Mr. Kundera has agreed to sign fewer than 350, so this offer will be extremely limited.

The acclaimed writings of the world-renowned master…

The Unbearable Lightness of Being * The Book of Laughter And Forgetting *
The Festival of Insignificance

Forced by the Communist government to leave his native Czechoslovakia, Milan Kundera found himself in 1975 dispossessed of the community and the restrictions that had previously shaped his writing. In exile, the author reinvented his writing – and reinvented the form of the novel.

Profoundly playful and constantly questioning, combining philosophy and fiction, essay and autobiography, deep seriousness and liberating comedy, fantasy and lived human experience, Milan Kundera's novels are today regarded as essential literary documents of our time.

Now, Easton Press celebrates this great artist with Milan Kundera MASTERPIECES, an exclusive three-volume, leather-bound Collector Edition that includes The Unbearable Lightness of Being personally autographed by the author, Milan Kundera.

As Mr. Kundera will sign no more than 350 copies of The Unbearable Lightness of Being, this special set is extremely limited and available strictly on a first-come, first-served basis.

Three essential novels from a modern master.

Here in a single gorgeous matching set are Milan Kundera's breakthrough novel, most beloved best-seller, and latest provocative work – three brilliant novels that demonstrate the enduring achievement of an internationally revered author.
The Book of Laughter and Forgetting (1979)
A meditation on the lives of four lovers in Communist-era Prague, this is the landmark work which introduced the world to Kundera's dazzling style and vision. "[The book] is part fairy tale, part literary criticism, part political tract, part musicology, and part autobiography," wrote The New York Times. "It can call itself whatever it wants to, because the whole is genius."

The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1984)
"Kundera has raised the novel of ideas to a new level of dreamlike lyricism and emotional intensity," wrote Newsweek of the best-seller that made Kundera an international literary icon.

The Festival of Insignificance (2015)
Perhaps Kundera's final book and a provocative valedictory statement on writing, power, life, and defiant laughter. "Stunningly profound," declares National Public Radio. "A late-career confection which, in its compact slimness, re-proves Kundera's chops."
