Who is Leni Pfeiffer? From the first sentence, you will learn about her age, height, eye, and hair color. But these are only external signs. It takes more time, and more words to get to know Leni. Drawing her portrait, the author conducts a journalistic investigation: he communicates with Leni's friends and colleagues, with her neighbors and enemies. Each of them adds new touches to the image of this woman. This is how a novel is created - an epic canvas. After all, the story of Leni is not only the biography of one person, but the biography of an entire nation, country, and era. You will see pre-war Germany, WWII, and post-war Germany. This is a novel about generations that passed through the most challenging years of the 20th century, about people living in difficult times, in strange and beautiful times.
With the Ukrainian edition of the novel "Group Portrait with a Lady", the Babylonian Library publishing house and the Embassy of Germany in Ukraine commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature - Heinrich Böll.
