Феноменальный успех романа современного немецкого писателя Бернхарда Шлинка "Чтец" (1995) сопоставим разве что с популярностью вышедшего двадцатью годами ранее романа Патрика Зюскинда "Парфюмер". "Чтец" переведен на тридцать девять языков мира, книга стала международным бестселлером и собрала целый букет престижных литературных премий в Европе и Америке.
Внезапно вспыхнувший роман между пятнадцатилетним подростком, мальчиком из профессорской семьи, и зрелой женщиной так же внезапно оборвался, когда она без предупреждения исчезла из города. Через восемь лет он, теперь уже студент выпускного курса юридического факультета, снова увидел ее - среди бывших надзирательниц женского концлагеря на процессе против нацистских преступников. Но это не единственная тайна, которая открылась герою романа Бернхарда Шлинка "Чтец".

The year is 1943 and life is good for Jewel Hilburn, her husband, Leston, and their five children. Although there's a war on, the Mississippi economy is booming, providing plenty of business for the hardworking family. And even the news that eldest son James has enlisted is mitigated by the fact that Jewel, now pushing 40, is pregnant with one last child. Her joy is slightly clouded, however, when her childhood friend Cathedral arrives at the door with a troubling prophecy: "I say unto you that the baby you be carrying be yo' hardship, be yo' test in this world. This be my prophesying unto you, Miss Jewel."

When the child is finally born, it seems that Cathedral's prediction was empty: the baby appears normal in every way. As the months go by, however, Jewel becomes increasingly afraid that something is wrong with little Brenda Kay—she doesn't cry, she doesn't roll over, she's hardly ever awake. Eventually husband and wife take the baby to the doctor and are informed that she is a "Mongolian Idiot," not expected to live past the age of 2. Jewel angrily rebuffs the doctor's suggestion that they institutionalize Brenda Kay. Instead the Hilburns shoulder the burdens—and discover the unexpected joys—of living with a Down syndrome child.
