Sebald's marvelous first novel is a work that teeters on the edge: compelling, puzzling, and deeply unsettling.

Sebald's first literary work, now translated into English by Michael Hamburger, explores the lives of three men connected by their restless questioning of humankind's place in the natural world.

On the Natural History of Destruction
ISBN: 9780375756573 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. During World War Two, 131 German cities and towns were targeted by Allied bombs, a good number almost entirely flattened. Six hundred thousand German civilians died--a figure twice that of all American war casualties. Seven and a half million Germans were left homeless. Given the astonishing scope of the devastation, W. G. Sebald asks, why does the subject occupy so little space in Germany's cultural memory? On the Natural History of Destruction probes deeply into this ominous silence.
