Explore the work (Thai Translations) of acclaimed German Authors Bernhard Schlink and Judith Hermann

Sat, 03.08.2024
2:00 PM - 16:30 GalileOasis (Gallery, 2nd Floor)

Not only a book can provide a heartfelt, wonderstruck story, but it can also serve as a reflection on culture, background, and identity of each character. Bernhard Schlink, the author of ‘The Reader’ (Der Vorleser) and Judith Hermann, the author of ‘Home’ (Daheim), are the two German contemporary authors whose books flawlessly capture perspective and living conditions of the Germans during certain historical time, while mingling vivid narrative of landscape in Germany. 

Saturday 3 August, 2pm
At the Gallery of GalileOasis (2nd floor)
The talks will be conducted in Thai, no entry fee.

Program
2–3pm Home (German: Daheim)
A story of an ordinary character projected in a languid ambience with a chilly touch of the North Sea might spark a personal memory of home, its meaning, the self and the relationship with the people around.

Come chat with Uruda Covin (author, columnist, passionate cook), Puongsoi Aksornsawang (film director and scriptwriter), Nantana Anuntkosol (Thai translator of Daheim and German language and literature lecturer).
Program moderator: Pattarasuda Anuman Rajadhon (actress and theater director)
Book Synopsis (th)

3.00–3.15pm Break

3.15–4.30pm The Reader (German: Der Vorleser)
The famous work of Bernhard Schlink ‘The Reader’ is also well-known for its film with the same name. Here we take a step back and revisit the post-World War 2 period, addressing morality when it comes to love and decision making.
