The novel follows a young man, living in Manhattan as if he owned it, through nightclubs, fashion shows, editorial offices, and loft parties as he attempts to outstrip mortality and the recurring approach of dawn. With nothing but goodwill, controlled substances, and wit to sustain him in this anti-quest, he runs until he reaches his reckoning point, where he is forced to acknowledge loss and, possibly, to rediscover his better instincts. This remarkable novel of youth and New York remains one of the most beloved, imitated, and iconic novels in America.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignfull-width size-full wp-image-189015\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Untitled-design-3-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"article-subheadline-style\"><em>THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING\u00a0<\/em>BY Milan Kundera<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;In The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Milan Kundera tells the story of a young woman in love with a man torn between his love for her and his incorrigible womanizing and one of his mistresses and her humbly faithful lover.

The guests&#8211;including the comic poet Aristophanes and Plato&#8217;s mentor Socrates&#8211;each deliver a short speech in praise of love. The sequence of dazzling speeches culminates in Socrates&#8217; famous account of the views of Diotima, a prophetess who taught him that love is our means of trying to attain goodness, and a brilliant sketch of Socrates himself by a drunken Alcibiades, the most popular and notorious Athenian of the time. Engaging the reader on every page, this new translation conveys the power, humor, and pathos of Plato&#8217;s creation and is complemented by full explanatory notes and an illuminating introduction.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignfull-width size-full wp-image-189024\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Untitled-design-13.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/56352118-the-prophet-by-kahlil-gibran\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"article-subheadline-style\"><em>THE PROPHET<\/em> BY KAHLIL GIBRAN<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;In Kahlil Gibran&#8217;s inspirational masterpiece-the most famous work of spiritual fiction of the twentieth century-a prophet named Almustafa is about to board a ship to travel back to his homeland after twelve years in exile when he&#8217;s stopped by a group of people who ask him to share his wisdom before he leaves.
