Synopsis "La Ratesa (in Spanish)"

Encuadernación: Rústica Colección: ContemporáneaUna sobrecogedora advertencia acerca del presente y el futuro del hombre sobre la tierra.Un hombre recibe como regalo de Navidad una rata enjaulada que le perseguirá en sus pesadillas, que le acosará de día y de noche para profetizarle el fin de la especie humana. De hecho, le hablará como si ese fin hubiera llegado, como si las ratas -eternas compañeras del hombre a lo largo de la Historia- fueran ya las únicas supervivientes, el único rastro de vida tras el holocausto atómico.El presente libro es una fábula, una alegoría futurista, un nuevo Apocalipsis en el que humor y ternura, burla y candor, configuran, de la mano de una libérrima estructura formal, no sólo una extraordinaria novela, sino, además, una sobrecogedora advertencia acerca del presente y el futuro del hombre sobre la tierra.

Günter Grass (Danzig, 1927–Lübeck, 2015) was an influential German writer, poet, playwright, and visual artist. His work is characterized by deep social and political criticism, addressing issues such as historical memory and German identity. His most recognized novel, The Tin Drum (1959), launched the Danzig Trilogy, followed by Cat and Mouse (1961) and Dog Years (1963). Other notable works include The Flounder (1977) and Crabwalk (2002).

In 1999, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature, becoming the eighth German author to win it. His literature, framed in the "Vergangenheitsbewältigung" (coming to terms with the past) movement, combines elements of magical realism with satire and social criticism. Besides his literary work, Grass was an active participant in the political and cultural life of Germany, being a member of the Social Democratic Party and a defender of social causes.
