文档介绍：International Acclaim for Bernhard Schlink’s
“Arresting, philosophically elegant, morally complex. . . . Mr. Schlink tells this story with
marvelous directness and simplicity, his writing stripped bare of any of the standard
gimmicks of dramatization.”
—The New York Times
“The best novel I read this year . . . an unforgettable short tale about love, horror and mercy.”
—Neil Ascherson,
Independent on Sunday Books of the Year
“Breathtaking . . . a novel that sucks you in with its power, so that once you start to read, you
cannot put it down. Truly exciting.”
—Focus Munich
“One of the most successful, one of the richest, one of the most overwhelming novels I have
read for a very long time . . . entirely new and profoundly original.”
—Jorge Semprun, Le Journal du Dimanche
“Superb.” —Le Monde
