Young Michael Berg meets Hanna Schmitz, a much older woman, and a secret relationship develops between them that is interrupted when she disappears. Years later, now a law student, Michael sees her again at a trial whose crimes date back to Nazism; the novel explores guilt, silence and historical memory.
The original novel, «Der Vorleser», was published in 1995; this Catalan edition, translated by Carme Gala, came out in 2009.
Suitable for readers of contemporary fiction and historical drama, and for reading groups wanting to discuss guilt and memory.
