Synopsis
'One of the most exciting, and most mysteriously sublime, of contemporary European writers' Guardian In this major work, the finest of his career to date, W.G. Sebald traces the moving and epic story of Jacques Austerlitz. Sent to Wales on the last Kindertransport from Europe on the eve of the Second World War, five-year-old Austerlitz is adopted by Welsh Calvinists, who decide to remove any trace of his true origins. Throughout his life Austerlitz is haunted by feelings of otherness, but it is not until retirement that he embarks on a journey to make sense of his curious early memories, taking the reader back into the heart of pre-war Europe...

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. SEBALD, W.G. Austerlitz. London: Hamish Hamilton, 2001. Translated from the German by Anthea Bell. First English edition, first impression. Sebald's final novel. First issue dust-jacket with £16.99 to the rear flap. A haunting mixture of history and memoir, Austerlitz is the story of a man's search for the answer to his life's central riddle. A small child when he comes to England on a Kindertransport in the summer of 1939, 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, fleeting memories return to him, and obeying an instinct he only dimly understands, Austerlitz 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. 414 pp. B/w photos. Hardback. (ISBN: 9780241141250). As new in dust-jacket.
