Description
This series of war novels from Vintage Classics presents eight powerful stories about the horror and waste of war—each a passionate plea to prevent its repetition.
Bitter and impassioned, The Tin Drum delivers a scathing dissection of Germany and Poland under the Nazis.
On his third birthday, Oskar decides to stop growing. Haunted by the deaths of his parents and wielding his tin drum, Oskar recounts the events of his extraordinary life; from the long nightmare of the Nazi era to his anarchic adventures in post-war Germany.
Grass is one of the master fabulists of our age — The Times
