Danzig Trilogy: The Tin Drum, Cat and Mouse, Dog Years

[ translate ]

Title: Danzig Trilogy: The Tin Drum, Cat and Mouse, Dog Years Author: Gunter Grass - Signed Date: 1962-1965 Publisher: Pantheon, Inc. NY/ Harcourt, Brace & World NY Edition: 1st editions

Three volumes, each signed, all 1sts.
The Tin Drum was adapted to film in 1979 and promptly won the Palme d'Or at the 1979 Cannes Film Festival and then the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1980 at the 52nd Academy Awards.
In 1999, Günter Grass was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. The Danzig Trilogy contains three of the author's most acclaimed works.
Acclaimed as the greatest German novel written since the end of World War II, The Tin Drum is the autobiography of thirty-year-old Oskar Matzerath, who has lived through the long Nazi nightmare and who, as the novel begins, is being held in a mental institution. Willfully stunting his growth at three feet for many years, wielding his tin drum and piercing scream as anarchistic weapons, he provides a profound yet hilarious perspective on both German history and the human condition of the modern world.
Cat and Mouse
The provocative story centers on the narrator's vivid recollection of a boyhood scene in which a black cat is provoked to pounce on his friend Mahlke's "mouse"--his prominent Adam's apple. This incident sets off a wild series of utterly "Grassian" events that ultimately leads to Mahlke's becoming a national hero. Because of Grass's singular storytelling virtuosity, ICat and Mouse/I is marvelously entertaining, powerful, and full of funny episodes.
Dog Years
In this vast novel, packed with incident, Günter Grass traces the dark labyrinth of the German mentality as it developed during the rise, fall, and aftermath of the Third Reich.
