內容簡介

內容簡介 'A formally beautiful, disturbing and finally morally devastating novel. From the first page, [ The Reader ] ensnares both heart and mind.' �Los Angeles Times The questions, discussion topics, and author biography that follow are intended to enhance your group's reading of Bernhard Schlink's The Reader , a haunting story of love and guilt in which the legacy of Nazi crimes enters a young man's life in an unexpected and irrevocable way. Hailed for its coiled eroticism and the moral claims it makes upon the reader, this mesmerizing novel is a story of love and secrets, horror and compassion, unfolding against the haunted landscape of postwar Germany.When he falls ill on his way home from school, fifteen-year-old Michael Berg is rescued by Hanna, a woman twice his age. In time she becomes his lover—then she inexplicably disappears. When Michael next sees her, he is a young law student, and she is on trial for a hideous crime. As he watches her refuse to defend her innocence, Michael gradually realizes that Hanna may be guarding a secret she considers more shameful than murder.
