The Reader

Book Review by: carlombas    

Original Author: Bernhard Schlink
Perhaps the reader after reading it would be good to sit down and look at our curriculum and tolerance trials. All that writers
such as Schiller, Tolstoy, Dickens told us in his work comes to live with other subjectivities, upgrade.
The political and social history that surrounds our lives, is part of our opinion and our views of the river, and the years go by and the mold that holds our presence, fit.
Continue along the exposure of my knowledge, with the recipients of my election literature, and no less fortunate to delegate that responsibility, in another mood, and perhaps radical megalomaniac.
Amar and read, read before love, surrounds the teenage Michael Berg, an experienced tutor Hanna, twenty years older, who after an accidental indisposition, agree, in that little world that wanted to have the maturity and other philias never discovered.
History marked by the Nazis who took over an entire people and the trial to his staff after the end of the war, from the sober side of which did not participate, perhaps by exempting from the cause.
From a romantic tone to the first development of the political argument in the novel are growing questions about the historical facts that determine with certainty barbaric and eternal questions.
Surrounded by a plain reading of classical pieces, love raving and failures, with the beating, when the prosecution, from the right, at the players, more or less responsible for the shameful history of Germany.
Bernhard Schlink, 1944, writer and expert on German-born laws in Bielefeld, Germany. He has been judge of the Constitutional Court in the Land of North Rhine-Westphalia and professor of the history of law at Humboldt University in Berlin. Gained fame as a writer of novels with a series of cut out by police Selbst (pun in German means "myself"). (Reader, 1995), partly autobiographical, in 2008 was adapted into a film by director Stephen Daldry, with the actors Ralph Fiennes and British actress Kate Winslet, which won several awards for her performance
