Mein Jahrhundert
by Günter Grass
At the end of the 20th century Günter Grass published the 100 stories found in Moje stulecie, one for each consecutive year--from 1900 to 1999. In the book appear many narrators--witnesses of their time. These narrators speak of unusual and everyday things of their lives and times every now and again to other people -- both sexes, various epoques, educations and occupations, different opinions. Victims and executioners speak. Every now and again other Germans tell about political, artistic, scientific, moral, and athletic events -- important and dramatic, occasionally cheerful, more often horrific, in which appear images of the past century.
