From a small, private Günter Grass - collection,

a very good, signed, 1st UK edition / 1st printing, English language, hardcover copy of

Günter Grass

My Century

Faber & Faber, London / UK, 1999

Your copy is in 'very good' condition (book and dust jacket with only minor signs of wear (no tear)). The front and top edges are unfresh, the interior of the book and the dust jacket like new. The book is unusual as a previous owner inserted (very properly glued) a photo of Günter Grass to the front flyleaf (all documented in the photos!).

"A collection of one hundred inter-linked stories celebrating the twentieth century, by Germany's most eminent contemporary writer. As the sequence of stories unfolds, a lively and rich picture emerges, an historical portrait of our century in all its grandeur and in all its horror." (faber.co.uk)

"Günter Grass (16 October 1927 – 13 April 2015) was Germany's most celebrated contemporary writer. He is a man of remarkable versatility: novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, graphic artist. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1999." (faber.co.uk)

Over the next few days we will sell approximately 30 books by / about Günter Grass, mainly in German, and a few in English.
