«Es cuento largo» is the historical novel by Günter Grass, published by Alfaguara in hardcover (800 pages, in Spanish).
Two elderly men cross Potsdamer Platz as the Berlin Wall falls. Their memories go back to the March Revolution of 1848, and they live in the manner of their predecessors, with the past always present. Grass interweaves the fall of the Wall and reunification with their antecedents and composes a literary panorama of German history.
The German original «Ein weites Feld» was published in 1995. The Spanish edition from Alfaguara appeared in 1997. The translation is by Miguel Sáenz, with the collaboration of Grita Löbsack.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction and European narrative interested in the process of German reunification.
Günter Wilhelm Grass was a German novelist, poet, playwright, illustrator, graphic artist, sculptor, and recipient of the 1999 Nobel Prize in Literature.
