Articoli correlati a The Tin Drum
The Tin Drum, one of the great novels of the twentieth century, was published in Ralph Manheim’s outstanding translation in 1959. It became a runaway bestseller and catapulted its young author to the forefront of world literature.This edition, translated by Breon Mitchell, is more faithful to Grass’s style and rhythm, restores omissions, and reflects more fully the complexity of the original work.After more than fifty years, The Tin Drum has, if anything, gained in power and relevance. All of Grass’s amazing evocations are still there, and still amazing: Oskar Matzerath, the indomitable drummer; his grandmother, Anna Koljaiczek; his mother, Agnes; Alfred Matzerath and Jan Bronski, his presumptive fathers. And Oskar’s midget friends—Bebra, the great circus master, and Roswitha Raguna, the famous somnambulist; Sister Scholastica and Sister Agatha, the Right Reverend Father Wiehnke, the Greffs, the Schefflers, Herr Fajngold, all Kashubians, Poles, Germans, and Jews—waiting to be discovered and rediscovered.

Recensione:
"At the ages of 14 and 15, I had read Great Expectations twice--Dickens made me want to be a writer--but it was reading The Tin Drum at 19 and 20 that showed me how. It was Gunter Grass who demonstrated that it was possible to be a living writer who wrote with Dicken's full range of emotion and relentless outpouring of language. Grass wrote with fury, love, derision, slapstick, pathos--all with an unforgiving conscience." --John Irving, The New York Times Book Review "This is what Grass's great novel said to me in its drumbeats: Go for broke. Always try and do too much. Dispense with safety nets. Take a deep breath before you begin talking. Aim for the stars. Keep grinning. Be ruthless. Argue with the world. And never forget that writing is as close as we get to keeping a hold on the thousand and one things--childhood, certainties, cities, doubts, dreams, instants, phrases, parents, loves--that go on slipping, like sand, through our fingers. I have tried to learn the lessons of the midget drummer." --Salman Rushdie, from his introduction to On Writing and Politics, 1967-1983, by Gunter Grass

Descrizione libro Softcover. Condizione: New. First Edition. One of the greatest modern novels, The Tin Drum is the story 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. Matzerath provides a profound yet hilarious perspective on both German history and the human condition in the modern world.In this edition, Breon Mitchell, acclaimed translator and scholar, draws from a wealth of detailed scholarship to produce a translation that is more faithful to Grasss style and rhythm than the 1959 translation, restoring omissions and reflecting the complexity of the original work.After more than sixty years, The Tin Drum has, if anything, gained in power and relevance.
