Although seems repetitive, I want to talk about the same book I talk the last term because that book is the most memorable book I've ever read,well, with other book but I do not remember so much about it :/
I've never been a person that likes much philosophy or have to question about, but I love this book in spite of the fact of philosophise about the completely book because of it is a novel-essay.

"The unbearable levity of the being " is the name of the book, I had to read it in fourth grade of secondary for a test, that time I tried to read it consciously because I didn't want to read it just for the test, at last I did it, I still do not forget the book. Due to do what I wanted I read it twice and the last term I read it again because I like so much.
This book is a kind of essay about the existence of the the eternal return's myth. This myth says that all things that happens and things we do are going to be repeated again and again and again and it will go on till forever.Is because of this that all things that happens become heavy, because these thigs are going to be repited and won't disappear of our memory and only will happen once.

On the other hand, as our actions will not be repeated till forever, our lives become nothing, because our lives are brief, at the moment we finish doing an action this action doesn't exist any more because it has passed and will not have any weight in us, so don't care if our life is happy, sad, exciting or boring, because it passed and that means our actions are not heavy, so they are light and we almost exist.
Another thing that is related with the myth is that we are living for first time and only for once so we make a lot of mistakes because we don't have experience and this life should be like a practice of life, when we learn about our mistakes and in the next life we would do the things better than the before life.According to this, there would exist a different world by each different decision we take, a world if the answer is yes, and a world if the answer is no, a world if we like chocolate ice cream, and a world if we like vanilla ice cream, and then go on. So we could know the consequences of each action, and do all things knowing what will happen.

At the same time, the novel talks about the four people's life and how each of them choice to live their lives, in a heavy or light way and how that decision impact in their relationship as lovers between them (Tomás and Sabina, Teresa and Tomás,Sabina and Francis). They talk about their point of view about love, the easy love and true love,how much importance we take at the moment of love someone and the how love is involved with the feeling of guilty and commitment introducing us in their feelings, memories, dreams, and experiences.
This book moves me because of the question about, is a point I found so interesting to think about and I believe It open many questions inside of mi mind about the life, consequences of what I do, relationship and love. I reflect about the book many times and much time because was so confusing all the options I can choice to live.
I believe I would read it again, I already did it. If you want to read something to think and question about I recommend it because you have to take much time to analyze almost each page and every action characters do; but if you want to read a light read I wouldn't recommend it.
