Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Harvest / HBJ edition 1989, 1st printing. Translated by Ralph Manheim. 570pp. Bright & tight trade paperback, unread, in Near Fine condition. "DOG YEARS is set in three parts. Herr Brauxel, the owner of a mine, tells the 'Morning Shifts,' an account of the early years of the two main figures, the half-Jew, Eduard Amsel, and his friend and blood brother, Waltern Matern. The river Vistula, with its cargo of history, runs through their exploits. So does the dog Senta, who will whelp Harras, who in turn will sire the black shepherd, Prinz, the Fuhrer's favorite dog. [] The second narrator, Harry Liebenau, tells part two, 'Love Letters,' addressed to his cousin Tulla. From the vantage point of Danzig, he takes the reader into the prewar years and beyond. Amsel, a gifted and precocious creator of scarecrows made in the image of man, starts to build lifelike, mechanically marching SA-men, and it is Matern, his blood brother, himself an SA-man, who calls him sheeny and knocks out his teeth. The Dog Years are now in full swing; they lead right into the war, up to the moment when Prinz finally deserts his master, because even a dog can have enough. [] The threads of the first two narrators are taken up by Waltern Matern in the 'Materniads.' Matern records the progress of his tour of revenge through postwar Germany. Accompanied by Prinz, he searches for the perpetrators of Nazi misdeeds and his lost brother, Amsel. Matern is innocent, an antifascist; it is the others who are guilty, even if the rising tide of prosperity seems to wash all of them clean. Fitfully administering a highly original--if for him somewhat debilitating--revenge, Matern ends up as a visitor in Herr Brauxel's mine, to find it peopled by an underground host of mechanical scarecrows in riotous preparation for their release aboveground. [] This is the first major novel that followed Grass's celebrated Tin Drum, exhibiting all the brilliance, inventiveness, and narrative daring of its predecessor. Beginning in the nineteen twenties and ending in the fifties, it is a splendid evocation of an apocalyptic period and its startling aftermath." [publisher copy] "Grass is the strongest, most inventive writer to have emerged in Germany since 1945. Much of what is active in the Germany of Krupp and the Munich beer halls lies in this man's ribald keeping."--George Steiner. "I don't think I have read any other post-war novel in which this diligent sense of life's interrelatedness and unity has been set down in such iron sentences or, through patient assembly of the fruits of exact examination, made so stark . . . The book is a work of genius."--The Nation. Cover illustration by Gunter Grass. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine; very slight shelfwear/aging & beump on back bottom spine, o/w quite fine condition, no markings or tears.
