«El tambor de hojalata» is the novel by Günter Grass, published by Alfaguara in paperback (655 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Oskar Matzerath, a boy who decides to stop growing at the age of three and observes from his height the society around him. With his tin drum and his voice capable of shattering glass, Oskar traverses several decades of twentieth-century German history. The work combines realism, satire and fantastic elements to build a parable about the modern world and the Germany of the era.
First instalment of the Danzig Trilogy. Originally published in 1959 under the title «Die Blechtrommel», it is translated into Spanish by Carlos Gerhard.
A classic of twentieth-century German literature that is still read today as one of the great European novels; a reference work for readers interested in contemporary fiction, magical realism and historical memory.
Günter Wilhelm Grass was a German novelist, poet, playwright, illustrator, graphic artist, sculptor, and recipient of the 1999 Nobel Prize in Literature.
