The Unbearable Lightness of BeingThis "work of the boldest mastery, originality, and richness" (Elizabeth Hardwick) tells the story of a young woman in love with a man torn between his love for her and his incorrigible womanizing. In a world in which lives are shaped by irrevocable choices and by fortuitous events, a world in which everything occurs but once, existence seems to lose its substance, its weight.

This "work of the boldest mastery, originality, and richness" (Elizabeth Hardwick) tells the story of a young woman in love with a man torn between his love for her and his incorrigible womanizing. In a world in which lives are shaped by irrevocable choices and by fortuitous events, a world in which everything occurs but once, existence seems to lose its substance, its weight. Hence, we feel "the unbearable lightness of being" not only as the consequence of one's pristine actions but also in the public sphere, where the two inevitably intertwine.

Good shirt, but not perfect
I have bought three of these shirts. They fit well, look good, good value for the price, don't wrinkle easily. The fabric is VERY heavy and does not breathe well, so they are better suited for winter than summer wear. The placket tends to bunch up when you're seated, so wearing an undershirt can be helpful. The only thing I'd change about it is the fastener on top would be better as a standard button, or be fastened closer to the shirt. When worn buttoned-up, there's enough room between the two halves of the shirt that one side folds down and there's an unnecessary collar gap that doesn't look great. When worn unbuttoned, the fastener dangles (which again, doesn't look great). The shirt also doesn't have collar stays, so the collar can roll up.

Favorite Shirt
Color: All White, Size: X-Large
Love these shirts! I like how sleek they look with hidden buttons and no pockets. I plan to order other colors. Great for travel because they wrinkle very little. Comfortable and true to size.

Great Dress Shirt
Color: All White, Size: X-Large
Absolutely love this shirt! It's super stretchy and breathable—perfect for staying comfortable all day. The fit is flattering, and the material feels high-quality yet lightweight. I was especially impressed that the bright white color stayed vibrant even after washing. Highly recommend!
