Publisher's Summary:
The Tin Drum deals with the rise of Nazism and with the war experience in the unique cultural setting of Danzig, by Nobel Prize-winning author Günter Grass.
To mark the 50th anniversary of the original publication of this runaway best-seller, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, along with Grass's publishers all over the world, offer a new translation of this classic novel. Breon Mitchell, acclaimed translator and scholar, has drawn from many sources. The result is a translation that is faithful to Grass's style and rhythm, restores omissions, and reflects more fully the complexity of the original work. After 50 years, The Tin Drum has, if anything, gained in power and relevance.
Critic Reviews:
This is a new translation of the classic novel, offered on the fiftieth anniversary of its original publication.
"Grass is one of the master fabulists of our age." (
Times)
"
The Tin Drum itself remains a very great novel, as daring and imaginative as Gabriel Garcia Marquez's
One Hundred Years of Solitude or Toni Morrison's
Beloved." (
Washington Post)
"
The Tin Drum will become one of the enduring literary works of the twentieth century." (Swedish Academy, awarding Günter Grass the Nobel Prize for Literature, 1999)
