In a dilapidated villa in Florence, fate brings together four: a former thief and now a war hero, Caravaggio, a sapper Kip, a Canadian sister of mercy Hana and her nameless, burned to the bone last ward - an English patient. After all the horrors and deaths they saw, after the mental anguish and physical torture they endured during this war, they did not lose the ability to love. Perhaps it is love and the memory of it that gives them the strength to live on.

"The English Patient" - the most famous novel of the Canadian writer Michael Ondaatje - is both a poignant story of tragic love and the background of the Second World War, and a book that amazes with the depth of philosophical reflection.
