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.

摘自《新浪博客》 作者：歌特精灵 相比于岛国狭隘、扭曲的民族自尊心和具不承认历史罪行的军国主义强硬态度，德国人对待历史是中肯的，当然也是聪明的。当那些滔天罪行被暴光，骇人听闻的集中营大屠杀的铁证像强光一样不容质疑的刺入德国人的眼睛，他们没有选择沉默，也...

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...
