"Cat and Mouse" - the second book of "Danzig trilogy" by Gunter Grass, published shortly after the novel "Tin Drum". At the center of the narrative is the story of teenager Joachim Malke, whose childhood and adolescence take place in wartime Danzig, in a militaristic atmosphere imbued with the spirit of National Socialism. Despised by all as an outsider, Malke tries to change the attitude of those around him and earn the fame of a hero, but fails. Even the award he receives - the Knight's Cross - does not help him to gain recognition. The grotesque story takes on tragic tones and turns into a cruel disappointment for the hero. Grass himself explains it as follows: "The story of Malke exposes the church, the school, the cult of the hero - the whole society. In his case, everything turned out to be untenable".
