{"product_id":"0099540657","title":"Tin Drum","description":"\n\u003cp\u003e(This is Part 2 of a 2 part Cassette edition) The Tin Drum, one of the great novels of the twentieth century, became a runaway best-seller and catapulted its young author to the forefront of world literature. Now on the book s fiftieth anniversary comes this new translation by Breon Mitchell, one that is faithful to Grass s style and rhythm, restores omissions, and reflects more fully the complexity of the original work. This is the story of Oskar Matzerath, a dwarfish hunchback detained in a mental hospital, convicted of a murder he did not commit. From his third birthday when he received a tin drum, it has become the means of his expression, allowing him to draw forth memories from his past as well as from the Nazi era. Oskar s imaginative distortion and exaggeration of history reveals a startlingly true portrayal of the human situation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiterature \u0026amp; Fiction\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical Fiction\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20th Century\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eWorld War II \u0026amp; Holocaust\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Vintage Books","offers":[{"title":"Used - Poor","offer_id":45262326857918,"sku":"0099540657-6","price":8.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/81303866rbL.jpg?v=1754092404","url":"https:\/\/shop.sustainablebooks.com\/products\/0099540657","provider":"Sustainable Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
