Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First U.S. Edition. The Nobel Prize-winning Grass, controversial for his socialist political activisim and his late-life confession of service in the Waffen-SS as a teenager in WWII, was an extremely versatile writer -- publishing as a novelist, poet, playwright, and essayist, as well as being a talented visual artist. "The Call of The Toad," set in Grass' native Danzig, is a humorous romantic story about a man and woman in their fifties who set out to make a fortune by selling burial plots to Germans who were exiled from Danzig, their birthplace, after WWII. It is capitalism taken to absurdity as Grass skewers both German and Polish stereotypes and was the basis for a 2005 film directed by Robert Glinski. First Printing, First U.S. Edition (with an A to E letterline), translated by Ralph Mannheim. About 5 3/4 x 8 1/2 inches, 248 pages quarter bound in white cloth over white paper-covered boards. White dustjacket with black and green lettering and drawing by Grass of a toad with a pen on the front panel, white and green lettering on spine and small head and shoulders photo of Grass on back panel. Boards and text appear very lightly handled, perhaps unread. Slightly bumped at spine ends, no tears, no creasing or chipping. Complete, clean and unmarked, not remaindered. The primarily-white DJ shows some light soiling, a slight bit of shelf wear, no significant flaws, not price-clipped. A collectable copy. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 005600

DESCRIPTION - The author of THE TIN DRUM is back in Danzig with THE CALL OF THE TOAD, a poignant, irreverent, funny novel about two people who find adventure in love and business. The love is late middle-aged; the business is the cemetery business. The couple's vision is to offer plots in Gdansk to those Germans who had been exiled after World War II. He, the German, will provide not only the bodies but cash and know-how; she, the Pole, will provide the human warmth and political fervor. Günter Grass tells a tale of capitalism taken to absurd extremes as he skewers both the German and the Polish characters, past, present, and future - with the style, tenderness, and baroque inventiveness that have made him famous. 'Günter Grass is the greatest living German novelist.' - Newsweek. 'A virtuoso, a vastly intelligent, sensitive, and humane writer with a zany eye for the preposterous.' - The Washington Post. Günter Grass, born in Danzig in 1927, is Germany's most celebrated contemporary writer, He is a man of remarkable versatility: novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, graphic artist. inventory #826.
