«Olga» is the novel by Bernhard Schlink published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (320 pages, in French).
Olga, an orphan raised by her grandmother in a Prussian village, wants to become a teacher in a society that marginalises women. Her love for Herbert, son of a well-off family and eager to explore the world, clashes with conventions and his patriotic ambition; the relationship lasts for decades, between Germany, Africa and the Arctic.
Translation from German by Bernard Lortholary. The original novel was published in 2018 and this French edition appeared in 2020.
For readers of historical and literary fiction, with an interest in turn-of-the-century Europe and female characters who defy their era.
Bernhard Schlink is a German lawyer, academic, and novelist. He is best known for his novel The Reader, which was first published in 1995 and became an international bestseller. He won the 2014 Park Kyong-ni Prize.
