De Alemania A Alemania: Diario, 1990 = On The Road From Germany To Germany

Over twenty years ago, Gunter Grass’ editor gave the Nobel laureate a series of notebooks to fill with drafts for future works. Grass began writing a diary in these notebooks, using them as fertile ground for his ideas, a practice he has kept to this date. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, in a Germany full of unrest, Grass became directly involved in his country’s political debate. He traveled throughout what was still the GDR to observe discussions on the future and the process of reunification. These pages also bear witness to his fascinating travels. A report of a time in which the world’s history was changing at a frenzied speed, Grass’ diary allows the reader to come close to an author who, aware of the historic significance of that moment, fought ardently for his beliefs. This work is a sharp and absorbing portrait of a country undergoing drastic changes and of a life rich in observations, encounters and reflections.
