Présentation de l'éditeur :
From the author of the internationall-acclaimed The Reader comes the perfect non-fiction companion to his novels. The six essays that make up this compelling work view the long shadow of past guilt that is a German experience as well as a global one. Schlink explores the phenomenon of guilt and how it attaches to a whole society, He considers how to use the lessons of history to motivate individual moral behaviour and reconcile a guilt-laden past. Written in an eloquent but accessible style, Guilt About the Past taps into a worldwide phenomenon.
''In a few short essays, [Schlink] evokes with aching sensitivity the dilemmas of confronting a thoroughly complex and perplexing past. The chapters in this book are a dignified reflection on the politics of memory across generations and on what it means to be marked by an extreme experience of trauma, whether as a victim or perpetrator. The book is an elegant invocation of the power of telling stories about the past.'' - The Times
''Now the scrupulous scholar and global bestseller has delved deeper into the still-toxic ground of historical memory, justice and responsibility. Guilt About the Past will not so much answer the questions that his fiction poses but prompt sharper and deeper thoughts about them.'' - The Independent
''Schlink s thoughtful tone is throughout a pleasure.'' - The Guardian
