Austerlitz
of W.G. Sebald, Anthea Bell (Translator)
Description
Austerlitz, the internationally acclaimed masterpiece by âone of the most gripping writers imaginableâ (The New York Review of Books), is the story of a manâs search for the answer to his lifeâs central riddle. A small child when he comes to England on a Kindertransport in the summer of 1939, one Jacques Austerlitz is told nothing of his real family by the Welsh Methodist minister and his wife who raise him. When he is a much older man, the fleeting memories return to him, and obeying an instinct he only dimly understands, he follows their trail back to the world he left behind a half century before. There, faced with the void at the heart of twentieth-century Europe, he struggles to rescue his heritage from oblivion.
