«El tambor de hojalata» is the historical novel by Günter Grass, published by Punto de Lectura in paperback (791 pages, in Spanish).
Oskar Matzerath, a boy who decides to stop growing at age three, narrates his life from a psychiatric hospital in postwar Germany. The drum he receives on his third birthday becomes his inseparable companion, while the novel ironically critiques petit-bourgeois society under Nazism with elements of magical realism.
The novel, first installment of the Danzig Trilogy, was originally published in 1959 as «Die Blechtrommel». Günter Grass received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1999.
Intended for readers of historical fiction and twentieth-century European literature who appreciate social criticism and magical realism.
