It also reminds me of the famous Charlotte Rampling movie The Night Porter about an obsessive love affair between a Nazi and a concentration camp inmate. Od trećine knjige počinje da se radnja komplikuje jednom "sitnicom" i u nastavku sam očekivao jednu bombu koja će eksplodirati.

Many countries that are now publishing the book are clearly experiencing a rise in the far right and a resurgence of racism. The way the author describes his hometown and what is happening after Hitler's regime is over, it felt like I was transported. From the windows of our house we could not actually see the hills covered with vineyards, famed for the fruity Weißwein they'd produce after the grapes spent a summer of basking in the sun; still, if we took our bicycles we would be zigzagging along the roads just below them in a matter of minutes.Their relationship was so interesting and nuanced that I understood how they loved each other and yet did terrible things that hurt each other deeply. Both manipulating and manipulated, Johannes dreads the end of the war: with it will come the prospect of losing Elsa and their relationship, which ranges through passion and obsession, dependence and indifference, love and hate. Y el decide esconderle la verdad a la joven judía, le dice que Hitler ganó la guerra y que de acá en más si quiere sobrevivir no le va a quedar otra que quedarse con el y esconderse. I could not get the darkness of this charged scenario out of my head, so I recently contacted her at her home in New Zealand to answer a few of the many questions and address the emotions triggered by this amazing novel.

I don’t want you to give the ending away, but if you were to keep the story going, what would be his fate (and, if you want, what would be Elsa’s future)? I don't see two people vying for control and pushing each other back and forth into unhappiness and joy. Drawing strength from his daydreams about Hitler, Johannes plans for the end of the war and what it might mean for him and Elsa.Then four years later it came out in English and many translations slowly followed, including Chinese, Russian, and Korean. While it’s an easy read, there’s subtle commentary throughout the narrative that forces the reader to pay attention and ask a lot of questions. Afterwards she made us Kaiserschmarrn for dessert, scooping and sprinkling into the pan each ingredient I wasn't allowed to have and could, in a jiffy, feast more than my eyes on. Going through the pages, it was always fun guessing from the arms alone if it was my father, mother or sister who was holding me.

An analysis of the uncontrollable fecundity of a lie, which gives way to life and concrete experience. Al pasar los días nota movimientos raros hasta que descubre una joven judía escondida en una habitación secreta de su casa.It won the Academy Award Award for Best Adapted Screenplay in 2020 as well as a Humanitas Prize for writing promoting human dignity, meaning and freedom. Not to mention that in the prologue, Johannes admits to the fact that some of his lies are hard to separate from the truth.
