具体描述
"Peeling the Onion" is a searingly honest memoir that evokes Grass' modest upbringing in Danzig, his time as a boy soldier fighting the Russians and concludes with the writing of his masterpiece, "The Tin Drum", in Paris. Grass' parents ran a corner shop, but his mother, whom he adored, encouraged him towards books and music. Like most of his peers, he joined the Hitler Youth and in 1944, when he was just 17, he was sent to the Eastern front with the Waffen SS and found himself facing Russian tanks and machine guns. Recovering from shrapnel wounds in a military hospital, he had the good fortune to be taken prisoner by the Americans. In the aftermath of the war, following a stint as a miner, Grass survived by trading on the black market and resolved to become an artist, eventually enrolling at the Academy of Arts in Dusseldorf. While living as an artist in Berlin with his first wife Anna, a ballet dancer, he started to concentrate on writing poetry. It was after the couple moved to Paris that the first sentence of the novel he had been determined to write and that would make his reputation came to him: 'Granted: I am an inmate of a mental hospital'. "Peeling the Onion" is the story of a remarkable life and is, without question, one of Gunter Grass' finest works.

“我知道那是耻辱，60年来我一直把这段历史视为耻辱，并努力忏悔。对战争的反思也定义了我后来作为作家和公民的行为方式”，德国作家君特·格拉斯说。 格拉斯是1999年的诺贝尔文学奖获得主，更让人轻易联想到的是他的另一标签：他自曝曾效力于臭名昭著的党卫军，也正是这样的...
初被《剥洋葱》给吸引，是因为它干利的命题，白皮体统的书面，书皮背后那一排引以为扣的小字打动心扉。老格拉斯叼着烟嘴，烟雾缭绕，浓密的大胡子带着松垮的眼镜，低调大方，一生清贫颠沛流离曲折的人生阅历。我想，不止这区区接近400页的文字来论述，这一生，乐观人生的严谨...

【读品】罗豫/文 德国人反思历史的诚恳态度是让不少民族相形见绌的。久闻德国文学大师君特·格拉斯在其自传《剥洋葱》中，讲述自己参加纳粹党卫军的经历，展现了一个知识分子的道德勇气。浏览网上铺天盖地的媒体报道，忍不住隐隐猜测格拉斯是否真的在战争中犯下什么滔天罪行。...
