Couverture de Austerlitz par W. G. Sebald

Résumé

Présentation de l'éditeur In the summer of 1939, five-year-old Jacques Austerlitz is sent to England on one of the Kindertransports and placed with foster parents in Wales. For reasons of their own, the childless Calvinist couple erase from the boy all knowledge of his identity. 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 and explores what happened to him half a century ago. Biographie de l'auteur W.G. Sebald was born in Germany in 1944 and died in December 2001. He is the author of the highly acclaimed THE EMIGRANTS, THE RINGS OF SATURN and VERTIGO. Hamish Hamilton is publishing AFTER NATURE to coincide with the paperback of AUSTERLITZ.
