Rozsiahly román Harryho Mulischa je jedno z vrcholných diel súčasnej nizozemskej literatúry. Odohráva sa v Holandsku, na Kube, v Osvienčime, v Ríme a v Jeruzaleme. Ústrednými postavami románu sú dvaja priatelia, geniálny jazykovedec a politický aktivista Onno Quist, astronóm a sukničkár Max Delius a ich spoločná priateľka Anna, ktorá strávi mnoho rokov v kóme. Množstvo dejových digresií s veľkým počtom vedľajších postáv dotvára širokú epickú scenériu.

Mulisch vo svojom diele Dve ženy píše z pohľadu kunsthistoričky Laury, ktorá sa zamiluje do mladej, slobodnej a tak trochu zvláštnej Sylvie.

Atentát na fašistického kolaboranta v roce 1945 je výchozí situací románu předního nizozemského spisovatele Harryho Mulische. Jen náhodou unikne tehdy mladičký hrdina německé odvetě, při níž jako rukojmí zahynou jeho rodiče a bratr, avšak ani po letech neuniká palčivé, naléhavé otázce,kdo má vlastně jejich smrt na svědomí. Mulischovo dílo je vynikajícím, psychologicky propracovaným ztvárněním odvěkého tématu viny a trestu.

Ostensibly the story of a scientist in the present day who has abandoned his wife after their child is stillborn, the novel takes in science, history and psychology. A European novel of ideas, via Mulisch's gifts as a storyteller and lightness of touch.

The narrative presents a gripping thriller centered around the provocative idea that Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun had a child. As the story unfolds, it explores the implications of this revelation, delving into themes of identity, legacy, and the shadows of history. The author weaves suspense with vivid storytelling, inviting readers to question the past and its impact on the present.

As the pair fall into and out of love with the same woman - Ada - so their lives become further intertwined. For all three are on a mysterious journey destined to shape human history. The Discovery of Heaven is internationally recognized as a masterpiece. Rich in philosophical, psychological, historical and theological enquiry, it is an extravagant, bold and satisfying novel of ideas. 'Sparkling, irresistible . . . you'll learn a lot from this novel' The Times 'Anyone who reads The Discovery of Heaven will come away enlightened, challenged and entertained' Wall Street Journal 'Written carefully and ingeniously by a novelist who is also a poet' John Updike, New Yorker

Two house servants from the Obersalzberg share an incredible story: Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun had a son, Siegfried, whom Hitler had executed towards the end of the Nazi regime. A thrilling novel that explores the roots of evil.

It is the winter of 1945, the last dark days of World War II in occupied Holland. A Nazi collaborator, infamous for his cruelty, is assassinated as he rides home on his bicycle. The Germans retaliate by burning down the home of an innocent family; only twelve-year-old Anton survives. Based on actual events, The Assault traces the complex repercussions of this horrific incident on Anton's life. Determined to forget, he opts for a carefully normal existence: a prudent marriage, a successful career, and colorless passivity. But the past keeps breaking through, in relentless memories and in chance encounters with others who were involved in the assassination and its aftermath, until Anton finally learns what really happened that night in 1945—and why.
