Publisher's Summary: Tomas, a top surgeon in Prague, is a master of seduction. After leaving his wife and son, he becomes incapable of emotional involvement. To him, women are for pleasure, and his relationships with women, described by him as erotic adventures, are fleeting. Life is blissfully simple until Tomas meets young and innocent Tereza who awakens in him a tenderness he never knew possible.But it is 1968 and, when the Russian tanks roll into Czechoslovakia, Tomas's world begins to fragment. Forced from his beloved country, he and Tereza flee to Switzerland. Here he can only find work as a window cleaner, which offers him new opportunities for erotic friendships. Tereza, now distraught, suggests a move to the country where it will be difficult for Tomas to practice his infidelities. In the relative simplicity of country life, they attempt to achieve happiness; but their days are numbered. |
