«El tambor de hojalata» is the novel by Günter Grass, published by Bruguera, Alfaguara in paperback (701 pages, in Spanish).
The protagonist, Oskar Matzerath, decides at the age of three to stop growing and expresses his rebellion with a tin drum. His childlike but lucid gaze allows Günter Grass to trace a satire of 20th-century Germany, with Nazism, war and the postwar period as a backdrop, in a narrative that combines irony, humor and magical realism.
Originally published in 1959 as «Die Blechtrommel», this Spanish paperback edition dates from 1979. It is the first installment of the Danzig Trilogy.
It is a reference work for readers interested in 20th-century German literature, magical realism and historical narrative about the Second World War.
Günter Wilhelm Grass was a German novelist, poet, playwright, illustrator, graphic artist, sculptor, and recipient of the 1999 Nobel Prize in Literature.
