The Tin Drum

THE TIN DRUM presents Hitler's rise and fall through the eyes of the dwarfish narrator whose magic powers become symbolic of the dark forces dominating the German nation in the period. Like Thomas Mann's DOCTOR FAUSTUS, Grass's novel explores the dark roots of power and creativity.

,,TOBA DE TINICHIU" prezinta ascensiunea si decaderea lui Hitler prin ochii naratorului pitic ale carui puteri magice devin un simbol al fortelor intunecate care domina natiunea germana in acea perioada. La fel ca DOCTOR FAUSTUS al lui Thomas Mann, romanul lui Grass exploreaza radacinile intunecate ale puterii si creativitatii.
