Opis: From Germany to Germany - Gunter Grass
In 1990, Gunter Grass - a reluctant diarist - felt compelled to make a record of the interesting times through which he was living. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 and the collapse of Communism, Germany and Europe were enduring a period of immense upheaval. Grass resolved to immerse himself in these political debates: he travelled widely throughout both Germanys, the former East and the former West, conducting a lively exchange with political enemies, friends and his own children about all the questions posed by reunification. His account gives the reader an unparalleled insight into a key moment in the life of modern Europe, seen through the eyes of one of its most acclaimed writers. It also provides a startling insight into the creative process as the reader witnesses ideas for novels occurring and then taking shape. "From Germany to Germany" is both a personal journal by a great creative artist and a penetrating commentary on recent European history by someone who was simultaneously an acute observer and a highly engaged participant. "From Germany to Germany contains delightful insights into the process of crafting a novel.the most compelling and enduring evaluation of the complexities of reunification is likely to have come from the pen of Gunter Grass the novelist" -- Harry De Quetteville Daily Telegraph "Though Grass spent much of the year engaged in political argument - with others and with himself - there is much else in the book. It is first the record of a man possessed of extraordinary energy, both physical and mental.One cannot but admire his zest for life" -- Allan Massie Scotsman "From Germany to Germany is as earthy and real as The Tin Drum" -- Carole Angier Literary Review "This diary does capture a great moment in time" -- Alastair Mabbott Herald
