Synopsis "Mi Siglo (in Spanish)"

Para cada año que finaliza, Grass levanta una historia desde perspectivas diversas y desde el punto de vista de diferentes personajes. Habla de los grandes acontecimientos, de aparentes banalidades, de descubrimientos científicos y técnicos, de eventos culturales y deportivos, de persecuciones y asesinatos, de las guerras y de las grandes catástrofes, pero también de los nuevos comienzos. Un vivaz y sorprendente retrato de este siglo tan rico en maravillas, pero también tan abundante en horrores. Encuadernación: Rústica.

Günter Grass (Danzig, 1927–Lübeck, 2015) was an influential German writer, poet, playwright, and visual artist. His work is characterized by deep social and political criticism, addressing issues such as historical memory and German identity. His most recognized novel, The Tin Drum (1959), launched the Danzig Trilogy, followed by Cat and Mouse (1961) and Dog Years (1963). Other notable works include The Flounder (1977) and Crabwalk (2002).

In 1999, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature, becoming the eighth German author to win it. His literature, framed in the "Vergangenheitsbewältigung" (coming to terms with the past) movement, combines elements of magical realism with satire and social criticism. Besides his literary work, Grass was an active participant in the political and cultural life of Germany, being a member of the Social Democratic Party and a defender of social causes.
