The story is loosely based on one of the female guards in Auschwitz. When Hanna was about to be released with parole after spending 18 years in prison, she and Michael had to meet again, because she had no other friends. Michael was immensely proud of her but felt too guilty to write back. Through his help, Hanna learned to read and, eventually, write. Berlin and a practicing judge, he is also the author of several. Not only did Michael ruin life for Hanna, but Michael also drained his own life! Never did he find comfort in anything.Įight years into Hanna's incarceration, Michael started sending her packages of tapes and a tape machine. Bernhard Schlink was born in Germany in 1944. That let Hanna down because if he spoke, she would face a lot less time in prison. Michael had a chance to speak up, which he didn't use. She could not read nor write! She could not be in charge of that case. Especially after he understood that Hanna was not guilty. Hanna went to prison for life because of this event. She was said to have written a report on a church that went on fire and killed 300 Jewish prisoners. That is where Michael saw Hanna as one of the convicted people - the guards.

For gaining experience, their group went to court to see how the actual process went. Though Hanna denies certain charges, she admits others that she finds true, regardless of their impact on her conviction. He has a seminar about war criminals while studying law. When the judge asks Hanna if she knew she was participating in murder, she seems entirely concerned with the task of clearing out barracks space and indifferent to the fact that she sent people to their deaths. The next time Michael sees her happens in court. But there they were until Hanna left Michael and the city. Michael and Hanna could not possibly love each other - the society does not accept it for obvious reasons. On many accounts, this relationship was not right. Hanna worked as a conductor on a bus, and Michael was a student. They have this affair for quite a long time - many months before Hanna disappears. A 15-year-old boy called Michael Berg meets and starts an affair with a 36-year-old woman Hanna Schmitz. The events of the book are not much different from the plot of the movie. A parable of German guilt and atonement and a love story of stunning power, The Reader is also a work of literature that is unforgettable in its psychological.
#The reader by bernhard schlink summary movie
As you can remember, I did a review about the movie version of The Reader (press to read) with Kate Winslet in it. Although it has 200 pages, you can read it in less than 2 hours without getting tired. The book was written by Bernhard Schlink in 1997. The Reader, or Der Vorleser in German, is the kind of book that can keep you hooked until the last page, until the last word.
