Description
In Bernhard Schlink’s novel “The Late Life,” the inevitability of death becomes the key to discovering the most precious moments of life.
Martin, a distinguished lawyer and lecturer, is suddenly faced with an incurable disease. Every new day becomes a gift, every morning an anticipation.
As he approaches his final moments, he tries to understand what he can leave to the world and, above all, to his loved ones: his young wife Ulla and his six-year-old son David. During these reflections, a long letter is born to his son, filled with sincere confessions, pain, and words of love, which will become the little boy’s guide in a life where his father, unfortunately, will be present only as a memory.
Schlink masterfully reminds us that even the earliest moments of life are valuable, even the most valuable.
