«El gato y el ratón» is the short novel by Günter Grass, published by Alfaguara in hardcover (228 pages, in Spanish).
Set in Danzig during World War II, it narrates the adolescence of Joachim Mahlke, a young man whose goiter makes him the target of mockery and also an object of admiration. A group of boys turns a half-sunken ship into a refuge for adventures, while the war pushes them toward the front. Grass portrays the search for identity and acceptance in a youthful world that is falling apart.
Second installment of the Danzig Trilogy, which also includes The Tin Drum and Dog Years. The novel was originally published in 1961.
For readers of modern and contemporary fiction and of stories set during World War II with a focus on adolescence.
Günter Wilhelm Grass was a German novelist, poet, playwright, illustrator, graphic artist, sculptor, and recipient of the 1999 Nobel Prize in Literature.
