![]() ![]() Despite being pro-communist, Kundera was also an outspoken supporter of communist reform, and he was expelled from the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in 1950 for his political views. One year later, Kundera transferred to the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague to study film. He graduated from high school in 1948 and moved to Prague, where he studied literature and aesthetics at Charles University. As a teenager, Kundera began to write poetry, and it was during this time that he officially joined the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. Kundera’s father was a noted Czech pianist and musicologist, and he taught Kundera piano and musical composition, an influence that is reflected throughout much of The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Kundera was born to middle-class parents, Milada Kunderová and Ludvik Kundera, in Brno, a large city in Czechoslovakia, known today as Czechia. ![]()
