In Bernhard Schlink's short stories "Liebesfluchten", the title stands for the programme: Seven love stories about desire, closeness and loneliness. The protagonists plunge into love and out of love or flee from love.
 
Schlink's "Summer Lies" brings together life plans and riddles, love hopes and emotional illusions. In a simple and clear language Schlink creates contributions full of melancholy.
 
The translation into Vietnamese was written by Lê Quang. In addition to these two books, Lê Quang also translated Schlink's best-selling novel "The Reader" and "The Woman on the Stairway."
