GRASS, GUNTER; HEIM, MICHAEL HENRY (TRANSLATED BY) My Century
New York, Harcourt, Inc. 1999, First U.S. Edition. (ISBN: 015100496X) Hard Cover with dust jacket, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Collectible, 280 pp.; 22 cm. First published under title: Mein Jahrhundert. Translated from the German. Tight, clean copy. Stated "First Edition." Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "Gunter Grass tells us a story for every year of our century. He writes of great events and seemingly trivial occurrences, of technical developments and scientific discoveries, of achievements in culture and sports, of megalomania, of persecution and murder, of war and disasters, and of new beginnings. Although each story has a different narrator, collectively the stories form a complete and linear narrative in which the individual is the focus. As the sequence unfolds, a lively and rich picture emerges, an historical portrait of this millennium in all its grandeur and in all its horror. One hundred stories come full circle to create a novel of our century." - Publisher. Fine/Fine.
