Una obra cumbre de la literatura contemporánea, la novela emblemática del Premio Nobel Günter Grass.
«Grass escribe con furia, amor, desprecio, sentido de la comedia y de la tragedia... y todo con una conciencia implacable.»
John Irving
Oskar Matzerath, uno de los personajes literarios más entrañables de nuestro tiempo, es un niño que se resiste a crecer porque la sociedad pequeñoburguesa del nazismo no le gusta. También es un malévolo enano que destroza cristales; un ser vulnerable, enamorado siempre de alguna mujer a la que idealiza; un superdotado obsesionado por el sexo; un ser de pestañas negras y bellas manos y un repulsivo jorobado; un asesino por encima de cualquier moralidad que no vacila en eliminar a quien lo molesta pero consigue crear con su tambor una música arrebatadora.
Publicada en 1959, la novela cosechó un éxito inmediato e inauguró la nueva literatura alemana. Medio siglo después, la fascinación que despierta no ha terminado. Lo que antes parecía provocador, pornográfico o blasfemo resulta casi anecdótico, pero quedan el soberbio estilo, la genialidad, la lucidez de su crítica cruel y la irrefrenable imaginación. Oskar Matzerath sigue redoblando y su redoble continúa estremeciendo.
Reseñas:
«Por haber pintado el rostro olvidado de la historia en fábulas de una alegría con tintes negros. Grass emprende la amplia tarea de revisar la historia de su tiempo recordando a los ignorados y olvidados: las víctimas, los perdedores y las mentiras que la gente desea olvidar porque una vez creyó en ellas.»
Academia Sueca del Premio Nobel de Literatura (1999)
«Un libro de aventuras maravillosamente escrito y, en algunos pasajes, roza anticipadamente lo que hoy se calificaría de realismo mágico.»
Miguel Sáenz, El País
«El secreto de Grass radica en el equilibrio precario y único que ha conseguido crear entre su anárquica fuerza imaginativa y su raciocinio artístico superior.»
Hans Magnus Enzensberger
«Un autor que se ha hecho responsable de forma ejemplar de la credibilidad alemana en el mundo.»
Adolf Muschg
«Háganse un regalo a sí mismos, lean esta magnífica novela y gocen así de una obra y un autor extraordinarios.»
Antonio Bazaga, El Asmobrario - Público
«Una novela descomunal. Hay algunos capítulos que se han quedado instalados dentro de mí de una manera tan visual y tan intensa que me parece haberlos vivido. Después de leer esta novela no podrás volver a mirar a una anguila a los ojos.»
Luis Piedrahita
«Grass escribe como testigo de su época. Su proyecto literario se erige contra el olvido y el silenciamiento del pasado.»
Cecilia Dreymuller
«A los catorce y quince años había leído dos veces Grandes esperanzas (Dickens hizo que quisiera ser escritor), pero fue la lectura de El tambor de hojalata, a los diecinueve y los veinte, la que me mostró cómo hacerlo. Fue Günter Grass el que me enseñó que era posible ser un escritor vivo y escribir con toda la emoción y el lenguaje desbordado de Dickens.»
John Irving

Work Description
Die Blechtrommel ist ein Roman von Günter Grass. Er erschien 1959 als Auftakt der Danziger Trilogie und gehört zu den meistgelesenen Romanen der deutschen Nachkriegsliteratur. Der Roman lässt sich als historischer Roman, Zeitroman, Schelmenroman und Entwicklungsroman charakterisieren.
Set against the backcloth of National Socialism, [this novel] is told in the first person by the central figure, Oskar Matzerath, tracing Oskar's history, beginning with his grandparents, and finishing at his thirtieth birthday (1954). Oskar is a dwarf, whose passion is his tin drum, which exercises some of the power of the Pied Piper's pipe, and he possesses a voice which is capable of breaking glass of all kinds at considerable range. The magic of Oskar's voice is matched by his ability to arrest his growth, but here, as elsewhere, the book moves on two planes, for the adult burgher world believes that his failure to develop is due to a fall. The grotesque figure of Oskar is accompanied by a grotesque series of happenings throughout his life, especially the eccentric deaths of those around him ... Oskar is finally condemned for a murder he has not committed and placed in a mental hospital. Oskar's detachment from the normal world enables him to comment upon it, and the book presents a dry and ironic review of the history of Oskar's times from the standpoint of Danzig, which was his home [as well as the author's].-The Oxford Companion to German Literature.
