After the fall of the Berlin Wall, in a Germany full of unrest, Grass became directly inv... more »olved 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. Spanish Description: Hace mas de veinte anos, el editor de Gunter Grass le dio unos cuadernos en blanco para que los llenara con los primeros borradores de sus textos. El utilizo estos cuadernos como diarios y como terreno fertil para sus ideas, una costumbre que continua practicando hoy. Tras la caida del muro, en una Alemania en plena agitacion, Grass quiso implicarse de forma directa en su debate politico. Por esta razon, viajo sin cesar por la que todavia era la RDA para presenciar las discusiones sobre el futuro y el proceso de reunificacion. Tambien de ese apasionante viaje dan cuenta estas paginas. Informe narrativo de una epoca en la que la historia se transformaba de forma enloquecedora, el diario de Grass permite acercarnos a un autor que, consciente del momento historico, libra sus batallas con ardor. Un retrato agudo y fascinante de un pais sumido en drasticos cambios, y de una vida rica en encuentros, observaciones y reflexiones.« less
