«Ein weites Feld» is Günter Grass's novel in an illustrated anniversary edition, published by Steidl Gerhard Verlag in hardback (441 pages, in German).
In the Berlin of German reunification, two men travel through the former GDR observing the country's changes: Theo Wuttke, a brilliant official and orator, and Ludwig Hoftaller, a spy of shifting loyalties. Grass interweaves these wanderings with the figure of Theodor Fontane to address German identity, historical memory, and politics.
The novel was originally published in 1995; this anniversary edition, illustrated by Günter Grass, was published in 2006.
For readers interested in recent German history, reunification, and the GDR, as well as the figure of Theodor Fontane, very present in the novel.
Günter Wilhelm Grass was a German novelist, poet, playwright, illustrator, graphic artist, sculptor, and recipient of the 1999 Nobel Prize in Literature.
