My century
by Günter Grass
- 12 Want to read
"Gunter Grass writes of great events and seemingly trivial occurrences, of technical developments and scientific discoveries, of achievements in culture and sports, of megalomania, of persecution and murder, of war and disasters, and of new beginnings. Although each story has a different narrator, collectively the stories form a complete and linear narrative in which the individual is the focus.
As the sequence unfolds, a lively and rich picture emerges, an historical portrait of the millennium in all its grandeur and in all its horror." "One hundred stories come full circle to create a novel of our century."--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description
At the end of the 20th century Günter Grass published the 100 stories found in Moje stulecie, one for each consecutive year--from 1900 to 1999. In the book appear many narrators--witnesses of their time. These narrators speak of unusual and everyday things of their lives and times every now and again to other people -- both sexes, various epoques, educations and occupations, different opinions. Victims and executioners speak. Every now and again other Germans tell about political, artistic, scientific, moral, and athletic events -- important and dramatic, occasionally cheerful, more often horrific, in which appear images of the past century.
