Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Anfang der 50er Jahre trommelt und schreibt in einer Heil und Pflegeanstalt ein Buckliger des Jahrgangs 1924 die Geschichte seines Lebens und seiner Familie vom Begin des Jahrhunderts bis in das Deutschland Adenauers. Oskar Matzerath hat alles gesehen und gehrt, nichts ist ihm entgangen, denn er war ein hellhriger Sugling, dessen geistige Entwicklung bereits bei der Geburt abgeschlossen war. Der Auenseiter, der Wirklichkeit ertrommeln und Glas zersingen kann, erweist sich dabei als der einzige Gesunde in einer Welt des Scheins, der Lge und des Verbrechens. Am Ende seiner phantastischen Autobiographie, die Oskar vom VorkriegsDanzig bis ins Dsseldorf der Nachkriegszeit fhrt, 'entdeckt man, da man ber Deutschland und Mitteleuropa sowohl in der Zeit des Vlkermordes als auch im Biedermeier der Restauration mehr wei als je zuvor' (Lars Gustafsson). Mit dem Erscheinen der 'Blechtrommel' 1959 gewann der deutsche Nachkriegsroman Anschluss an die Weltliteratur und Oskar der Trommler seinen festen Platz in der modernen Mythologie.
