More about this item
The Tin Drum
by Günter Grass
Vintage Books 1964 Edition
The greatest German novel written since World War ll, THE TIN DRUM is the autobiography of thirty- year-old Oscar Matzerath, who has lived through the long Nazi nightmare and who, as the novel begins, is detained in a mental institution.
Willfully stunting his growth at three feet for many years, wielding his tin drum and piercing scream as anar- chistic weapons, he provides a pro- found yet hilarious perspective on both German history and the human condition in the modern world.
Several pages have some spotting.
Cover shows minor wear at edges, creasing, some scratches, minor dings and light rubbing.
