German jurist and writer. He was born in Bethel, Germany, to a German father (Edmund Schlink) and a Swiss mother, the youngest of four children. Both his parents were theology students, although his father lost his job as a Professor of Theology due to the Nazis, and had to settle on being a pastor instead. Bernhard Schlink was brought up in Heidelberg from the age of two. He studied law at West Berlin’s Free University, graduating in 1968.

Schlink became a judge at the Constitutional Court of the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia in 1988 and in 1992 a professor for public law and the philosophy of law at Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany. In January 2006 he retired.

The book portrays how the post-war German generations wrestle with wartime past, confronting the generation who participated in or witnessed the atrocities against the Jews.
Shortly after its publication in the mid-1990s, The Reader became an instant bestseller both in Germany and the USA, and it has been translated into 37 languages. In 2007, it was adapted into a film of the same name. The film was nominated for several major awards, including the Academy Award for Best Picture.
