«El tambor de hojalata» is the novel by Günter Grass, published by Alfaguara in paperback (680 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Oskar Matzerath, a child who at the age of three decides to stop growing and, from that perspective, records the contradictions of German society in the Nazi era and the postwar period. The tin drum, his rejection of the adult world and his role as an uncomfortable witness articulate a satire of the petty bourgeoisie and Nazism.
First instalment of the Danzig Trilogy, in a translation by Miguel Sáenz. Originally published as Die Blechtrommel in 1959; Günter Grass received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1999.
Suitable for readers aged 16 and over interested in classic fiction and European literature on historical memory.
Günter Wilhelm Grass was a German novelist, poet, playwright, illustrator, graphic artist, sculptor, and recipient of the 1999 Nobel Prize in Literature.
