English term or phrase: Surround, a noun?
All such images of the mind insulated from the constitutive impact of the
surround counteract, to paraphrase Kundera, what might be termed the
unbearable embeddedness of being.

Me parece que debe ser un typo. En todo caso, está claro que significa ENTORNO, AMBIENTE...

Explanation:

Personalmente usaría "entorno", en su sentido de "lo que envuelve", lo que está sugerido por el uso de "embeddedness".

Interesante el último segmento. Cólo lo traducirían? les parece "el insoportable anidamiento del ser?"

agree  Herman Vilella: Yes, surround is frequently used as a beautiful nown. Entorno, as suggested by Asker, is best, but come to suggest synonims, what about circunambiente?
