Dog Years

Dog Years

30 hrs. 42 min.
"Dog Years" is the final book of Günter Grass’s "Danzig Trilogy," examining the history of Germany in the first half and middle of the 20th century: the period before the war, the rise of Nazism, the war, the postwar years, and the era of economic upturn in Germany.

The narrative in each part is told from the perspective of different characters: the "victim," the "witness," and the "criminal," each perceiving what’s happening in their own way.

Grass uses grotesque images, plots, and allegories to show the tragic paradoxes of that era. For him, satire becomes the main way to portray the madness of a society that first nurtured—and then rejected—the horrors of the Third Reich.
