من الخطأ الفادح أن يثار الجدل عن هامشية "الأشكال القصيرة للقصة" مقارنة مع "الكبيرة". وأن يسود التصور أن للقصة القصيرة مهمة آنية ومحدودة فقط. إن نصوص القصة القصيرة يمكن أن تكون بمثابة عناصر البناء للأشكال الملحمية الكبيرة. فالرموز اللغوية المكثفة، والوعي الحاذق في توظيفها، وحبكة النص في القصة القصيرة تعطينا أمثلة لنماذج تقف على مقربة من النماذج المختارة من النصوص الشعرية. على ضوء هذه الأفكار، اختار الكاتب غانم محمود نماذج من القصة الألمانية القصيرة وقام بترجمتها، ليقدم للقارئ نماذج إبداعية في فن القصة الألمانية القصيرة

About the author
Günter Grass
305 books1,839 followersNovels, notably
The Tin Drum
(1959) and
Dog Years
(1963), of German writer Günter Wilhelm Grass, who won the Nobel Prize of 1999 for literature, concern the political and social climate of Germany during and after World War II.
This novelist, poet, playwright, illustrator, graphic artist, and sculptor since 1945 lived in West Germany but in his fiction frequently returned to the Danzig of his childhood. He always identified as a Kashubian.
He is best known for his first novel, The Tin Drum (1959), a key text in European magic realism. He named this style “broadened reality.” “Cat and Mouse” (1961) and Dog Years (1963) also succeeded in the period. These three novels make up his “Danzig trilogy.”
Helene Grass (née Knoff, 1898 - 1954), a Roman Catholic of Kashubian-Polish origin, bore Günter Grass to Willy Grass (1899 - 1979), a Protestant ethnic German. Parents reared Grass as a Catholic. The family lived in an apartment, attached to its grocery store in Danzig-Langfuhr (now Gdańsk-Wrzeszcz). He has one sister, born in 1930.
Grass attended the Danzig gymnasium Conradinum. He volunteered for submarine service with the Kriegsmarine "to get out of the confinement he felt as a teenager in his parents' house" which he considered - in a very negative way - civic Catholic lower middle class. In 1943 he became a Luftwaffenhelfer, then he was drafted into the Reichsarbeitsdienst, and in November 1944, shortly after his seventeenth birthday, into the Waffen-Schutzstaffel. The seventeen-year-old Grass saw combat with the 10th Schutzstaffel panzer division Frundsberg from February 1945 until he was wounded on 20 April 1945 and sent to an American prisoner of war camp.
In 1946 and 1947, he worked in a mine and received an education of a stonemason. For many years, he studied sculpture and graphics, first at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and then at the Universität der Künste Berlin. He also worked as an author and traveled frequently. He married in 1954 and from 1960 lived in Berlin as well as part-time in Schleswig-Holstein. Divorced in 1978, he remarried in 1979. From 1983 to 1986 he held the presidency of the Berlin Akademie der Künste (Berlin Academy of Arts).
During the German unification process in 1989 he argued for separation of the two states, because he thought a unified Germany would resume its past aggression. He moved to the northern German city of Lübeck in 1995. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1999. In 2006, Grass caused controversy with his disclosure of his Waffen-Schutzstaffel service during the final months of World War II, which he had kept a secret until publishing his memoir that year. He died of complications of lung infection on 13th of April, 2015 at a Lübeck hospital. He was 87.

يكفي أن تكون هناك قصة واحدة ذات عمق في مجموعة لتكون ذات قيمة لدى قارئها، وفي هذه المجموعة أعجبتني 3 قصص، هي: في عالم مظلم، جزيرة القصب والحارس الأمين. وجدت بها عمقاً وأبعاداً إنسانية مؤثرة.
بسبب هذه المجموعة تعرفت إلى أسماء أدبية جديدة لم أكن أعرفها سابقاً، مثل ستيفان هيرملين ويان فليجر الذي لم أجد
سطراً عربياً واحداً مكتوباً عنه في الانترنيت.
المجموعة بشكل عام جميلة وتستحق القراءة.

مجموعة قصصية باهرة..لماذا إذن أعطيتها النجوم الثلاث؟ربما لأني غضبت من أنهم اختاروا اسم وقصة غونتر غراس ليعنونوا بها المجموعة وهي لم تكن الأجمل أو الأكثر إبداعاً .من وجهة نظري أكثر من قصة كانت أهلاً لقيادة المجموعة لكن نعود ونقول أن الاسم يعتمد عليه ربما التسويق وأشياء أخر..لا بأس بصفة عامة تعرفت على تجربة إلمانية متنوعة في القصة القصيرة وعلى قامات ماكان لي أن أتعرف عليها دون الدخول إلى عالمها..تتنوع القصص بين الواقعية الشديدة والواقعية السحرية ربما وذات الخلفية السياسية..الأكيد الذي أخرج به كلما دخلت عالم القصة القصيرة الغربية..أننا كعرب مازلنا متأخرون..بل كثيرو التأخر..وإلى متى سنظل؟ يعلم الله..

أزعجني أن يُعمّد الكتاب باسم غونتر غراس وهو (من وجهة نظري)صاحب القصة الأقل إدهاشا في هذه المجموعة الجميلة. تستهل المجموعة وتختم بنصين جميلين للكاتبة آنا سيغرس. أجمل القصص في رأيي " من يكون الرجل" . الترجمة جيدة وذلك أضفى متعة أخرى على قراءة المجموعة.

تطلبت مني بعض القصص قراءتها مرتين لاستوعب المضمون !
لا اعلم أهي مشكله ترجمه ، أم النص الأصلي كثير الاستعارات ، أما أنا !
أكثر ما أحببت ملحمة الحمامة الثالثة ، من هو الرجل و الحارس الأمين

اكثر من قصة مميزة من المجموعة .. القصص التي تتحدث على اثر الحرب على الاشخاص العاديين .. والانتصارات الصغيرة وقيمتها عند اصحابها
.. ربما تكون الانتصارات الصغيرة هي التي تبقي لنا بالنهاية
