Yes! A wonderful, absorbing book. It's never been traslated into English (or any other language) according to a letter I received from Herr Buchheim in 2002. I have a dream of doing it myself, but haven't gotten around to it somehow.
The language is quite straightforward (even the descriptive parts, of which there are indeed many) and someone with a couple of solid years of German study behind him/her should be able to get through, with the help of a good dictionary and perseverence. I found the book very compelling, and got through all 1464 pages, working doggedly along, in about six weeks, reading it every night.
