Flights of Love

Bernhard Schlink, a celebrated master of modern German literature and author of the famous works «The Reader» and «The Go-Between» ("The Granddaughter"), writes books where questions that come before answers take center stage. His characters are constantly poised at the edge, in a precarious balance between good and evil, unable to look away from History’s strict logic and chaotic nature. In his novel «The Detractors of Love» ("Deserters of Love"), Schlink tells of people who strive to understand the essence of love, explore the reasons why they run from it, search for it—yet often fail to value it, and in the end some of them receive at least a glimpse of truth.
