While reading Homer's Odyssey and an anonymous novel about a German soldier's escape from Siberian captivity, young Peter Debauer in the novel The Return does not immediately realize that fate is giving him a clue that will help him unravel the tangle of stories and fables connected with the fate of his father, who either went missing or died in the war. Having spent more than twenty years behind bars, former ultra-left terrorist and urban partisan Jörg is released in Three Days and comes face to face with his former associates and the inevitable questions: what is the meaning of the future if the past life was a mistake, and what is the meaning of the future if the only possible life remains in the past? And in "Deserters of Love" very different people try to understand what love is, why we run from it, why we crave it, why we don't cherish it - and sometimes some of them get at least a hint of the truth. Bernhard Schlink, a modern classic of German literature, author of the bestsellers "The Reader" and "The Granddaughter", writes books in which the most important events are questions before answers arise, and a person is always balancing on the edge, in a precarious balance, in a gray area between good and evil, unable to take his eyes off the strict mechanics and wild nature of History.
