From Goethe Institut:
You are invited to a presentation of the books “Love Flights” and “Summer Lies” by Bernhard Schlink.
The world-famous bestselling author Bernhard Schlink writes straightforward about the big topics in life.
Translator Lê Quang will present two volumes of the author’s story.
In Bernhard Schlink’s short stories “Liebesfluchten”, the title stands for the programme: Seven love stories about desire, closeness and loneliness. The protagonists plunge into love and out of love or flee from love.
Schlink’s “Summer Lies” brings together life plans and riddles, love hopes and emotional illusions. In a simple and clear language Schlink creates contributions full of melancholy.
The translation into Vietnamese was written by Lê Quang. In addition to these two books, Lê Quang also translated Schlink’s best-selling novel “The Reader” and “The Woman on the Stairway.”
Bernhard Schlink (* 1944) was Professor of Public Law and Philosophy of Law at the Humboldt University, Berlin, until his retirement. He published crime novels and gained worldwide fame with his book “Der Vorleser”.
