Una joya inédita del Premio Nobel Günter Grass en el décimo aniversario de su fallecimiento. La estatua, descubierta en un cajón polvoriento, ha causado «un pequeño revuelo literario». (Schwäbische)«Entre los inmortales».--Salman Rushdie, The New Yorker
«Una escritura exquisita». --The New York Review of Books
Cuando le preguntaron con qué mujer de la historia del arte le gustaría cenar, Umberto Eco contestó sin dudar Uta de Naumburgo, considerada durante siglos la mujer más bella de la Edad Media y acusada de brujería durante su corta vida. En una gira de lecturas por la antigua RDA a finales de los años ochenta, Grass ve la estatua de Uta por primera vez en la catedral de Naumburgo, hoy Patrimonio de la Unesco, y queda embobado por su belleza y realismo. Su figura, idealizada por el nazismo e inspiración para que Walt Disney creara la madrastra de Blancanieves, se caracteriza por un gesto único para el siglo XIII: con la mano derecha levanta el cuello de su preciosa túnica con un aire de misterio, casi como para ocultarse de alguien. Grass recurre en este libro al tradicional recurso del convidado de piedra invitando a cenar en su jardín a la hija de un orfebre que hizo de modelo para la estatua. Sin embargo, en un atrevido salto en el tiempo, Uta sigue apareciéndose en más ciudades durante sus viajes, sorprendiendo al narrador enamorado, que la busca por todas partes, y convirtiendo sus siguientes giras en un verdadero desastre, hasta la caída del Muro y sus consecuencias. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A newly discovered and translated jewel of a story from the Nobel laureate, now published for the ten-year anniversary of his death. At the end of the 1980s, a writer on a book tour, who very much resembles Grass, passes through East Germany and visits the Cathedral of Naumburg with its famous twelve donor statues. He invites the sculptor's models to dinner―and they come, not as ghosts, but as they were when alive in the thirteenth century. Toward the end of dinner, after drinking an icy Coca-Cola, the model for the famed beauty Uta von Naumburg declares she has to go to work: a living statue. As he continues touring around Europe, the writer looks for Uta and her donation basket outside every cathedral he passes. At last, in Frankfurt, he sees her in front of Deutsche Bank and the two have a meeting with staggering consequences. As Grass said, "on paper everything is possible," and in this tale he gleefully erases the line between life and death, present and past.

Squeaker inside toy breaks after 2 days
Size: Mini, Color: Gator (Pink)
Bought for my 8 lb chihuahua for Christmas. I have 3 little girls. The youngest loves her toys and of course she took this one over immediately. She just loved everything about it. The material on the gator is amazingly durable and I believe would hold up for a good while. The squeaker inside the toy however, broke after 2 days of my girl playing with it. It's now a noiseless toy that she does not like too much as it does not squeak because it only had the one squeaker in it.
I would recommend that 2 squeakers be inserted into this gator. I would not purchase again due to the longevity of the squeaker...only lasted 2 days.

Go dog toys are the best!

These are the only stuffed toys I buy for my Pittie because they are so well made. Even when she unstuffs them, she plays with them forever!

My dog loves these toys.
Size: Mini, Color: Gator (Pink)
Not a huge toy, nor is my dog. But we have lots of goDog toys. Practically indestructible and my dog likes to carry these in his mouth and bring them onto the foot of our bed. Brilliant colors and good squeaker but my dog is afraid of the squeak. Fair value for cost.

Our XL dogs love this! Highly recommend them! Highly recommend. Not for aggressive chewers but our big dogs don't destroy their toys. They cherish them. Great for play and cuddling. Not to loud either. Very cute.

When they said strong...
...they weren't kidding. Our pup would chew through everything she could get her sharks teeth into. Like my arms. Nothing lasted as long as a week or maybe two. But she has had Dino for months now. She loves him. He is the go to toy for when she wants to play tug. The material used to make this toy is every bit as strong as the seller claims. I will definitely buy from them again. And I will not wait for this one to rip. I may be waiting a long time. If your pup likes to tear stuff apart, feel safe in buying this toy,
UPDATE: 2/9/2023
Dino finally succumbed to the torture. His back ripped open and despite trying to repair him with ordinary thread he couldn't withstand the pressure, His stuffing was removed and spread all over the living room. Completely emptied he is still a good toy. Strong enough to withstand the forceful play of tug-o-war.
Only thing I would suggest is to use something stronger when closing his back. The rest of him is great. I will be replacing him soon.
