In his work, even the most compromised of characters, like Hanna Schmitz, The Reader's Nazi guard, show glimmers of humanity. The challenge with Schmitz, says Hare, was to make a Nazi move the audience, even as the full horror of her actions unfolds. The trickiest scene - for Hare, Winslet (who plays Schmitz) and director Stephen Daldry - was the war-crimes trial, in which Schmitz is accused of killing 300 prisoners by keeping them locked in a burning church.

"Quartet" of powers since 2007, Blair has maintained a surprisingly low profile as Israeli forces move into Gaza. Back in Britain, his substantial legacy - a more affluent and, by some measures, fairer Britain - looks imperiled by the economic downturn.
