Gunter Grass’s unknown diaries found Automatic translate

DUSSELDORF. Relatives of the recently deceased writer, Nobel Prize winner Gunter Grass, found in his house in Dusseldorf previously unpublished drawings and diaries in which he wrote about his life in Berlin. Almost all the diary entries were made by his personal assistant, but in some places you can find the handwriting of Grasse himself.

The first diary entry dates from the beginning of 1950. Gunter Grass has repeatedly stated that he plans to collect all his memories in a memoir, but he still did not manage to carry out this idea. Jörg-Philippe Thoms, director of the author’s house-museum in Lübeck, said that in the autumn the museum plans to organize a large-scale exhibition dedicated to the memory of Grasse. “This event will be a personal occasion to acquaint the public with previously unknown drawings and thoughts of the great Gunter Grass,” the museum manager wrote in his message.

Recall that the famous German writer Gunter Grass died of infection at the 88th year of life, on April 13 of this year in the city of Lubick. From his pen came 15 works, including the world famous novel “Tin Drum”, which was filmed by German director Volker Schlendorf. The film received the Academy Award in the nomination "Best Foreign Language Film". At 72, Gunter Grass was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
