Una de las historias más emocionantes que se han escrito sobre el amor, el nazismo y la culpa.
Michael Berg tiene quince años. Un día, regresando a casa del colegio, empieza a encontrarse mal y una mujer acude en su ayuda. La mujer se llama Hanna y tiene treinta y seis años. Unas semanas después, el muchacho, agradecido, le lleva a su casa un ramo de flores. Éste será el principio de una relación erótica en la que, antes de amarse, ella siempre le pide a Michael que le lea en voz alta fragmentos de Schiller, Goethe, Tolstói, Dickens... El ritual se repite durante varios meses, hasta que un día Hanna desaparece sin dejar rastro.
Siete años después, Michael, estudiante de Derecho, acude al juicio contra cinco mujeres acusadas de crímenes de guerra nazis y de ser las responsables de la muerte de varias personas en el campo de concentración del que eran guardianas. Una de las acusadas es Hanna. Y Michael se debate entre los gratos recuerdos y la sed de justicia, trata de comprender qué llevó a Hanna a cometer esas atrocidades, trata de descubrir quién es en realidad la mujer a la que amó...
Bernhard Schlink ha escrito una deslumbrante novela sobre el amor, el horror y la piedad; sobre las heridas abiertas de la historia; sobre una generación de alemanes perseguida por un pasado que no vivieron directamente, pero cuyas sombras se ciernen sobre ellos.

About the Author
Bernhard Schlink (Bielefeld, 1944) es jurista y vive entre Berlín y Nueva York. Es autor de cuatro galardonadas novelas policíacas que tuvieron un gran éxito de público, tres de las cuales han aparecido en esta colección: La justicia de Selb (en colaboración con Walter Popp), El engaño de Selb y El fin de Selb. Anagrama lo incorporó al catálogo en 1997 con El lector, que dos años antes fue saludada como un gran acontecimiento literario, traducida a 39 idiomas y llevada al cine, y que se convirtió en un extraordinario bestseller internacional, un clásico moderno. Fue galardonada con diversos premios, como el Hans Fallada, el Welt o el Ehrengabe de la Sociedad Heinrich Heine, así como el Grinzane Cavour en Italia y el Laure Bataillon en Francia. Los títulos posteriores de Schlink, Amores en fuga, El regreso, El fin de semana, Mentiras de verano, Mujer bajando una escalera, Olga, Los colores del adiós, La nieta y La vida al final han confirmado su extraordinario talento.
