Book Description Paperback. Condition: Good. 616 pages. Cover worn. Text tannedDog Years is set in three p arts. Herr Brauxel, the owner of a mine, tells the Morning Shifts , an account of the early years of the two main figures, the hal f-Jew, Eduard Amsel, and his friend and blood brother, Waltern Ma tern. 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 favori te dog. The second narrator, Harry Liebenau, tells part two, Lov e 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 wh en Prinz finally deserts his master, because even a dog can have enough. The threads of the first two narrators axe taken up by W altern Matern in the Materniads. Matern records the progress of h is tour of revenge through postwar Germany. Accompanied by Prinz, he searches for the perpetrators of Nazi misdeeds and his lost b lood brother, Amsel. Matern is innocent, an antifascist; it is th e others who are guilty, even if the rising tide of prosperity se ems to wash all of them clean. Fitfully administering a highly or iginal -- if for him somewhat debilitating -- revenge, Matern end s up as a visitor in Herr Brauxel's mine, to find it peopled by a n underground host of mechanical scarecrows in riotous preparatio n for their release aboveground. This is thefirstmajor novel tha t followed Grass's celebrated Tin Drum, exhibiting all the brilli ance, inventiveness, and narrative daring of its predecessor. Beg inning in the nineteen twenties and ending in the fifties, it is a splendid evocation of an apocalyptic period and its startling a ftermath. Seller Inventory # 1426z
