Product Description

Product Description

This autobiographical novel balances the agonising history of the persecuted Danzig Jews with an account of the author's political campaigning with Willie Brandt. The central symbol of the book is the snail - a model and a parody of social progress and a metaphor for political reform.

5.0 out of 5 stars An odd masterpiece!, 14 May 2008
'From the Diary of a Snail' is an odd book. It combines elements of both novel and political diary, juxterposing the fate of the Jews of Danzig during the Second World War with an account of Grass' own political involvement in the early 1970s. This may sound unpromising, but it is one of those books which really haunts the reader, and its characteristically rambling style enhance a unique literary experience.

Beautiful and compassionate!
