Einer geht zu Fuß durch die Grafschaft Suffolk, eine spärlich besiedelte Gegend an der englischen Ostküste, und dort findet er, in den Heidelandschaften und abgelegten Küstenorten, die ganze Welt wieder. Überall stößt er auf Spuren vergangener Herrlichkeit und Schande. Den geringfügigen Rest am Wegrand bringt er zum Sprechen. Jeder Stein kündet von märchenhaften und unheimlichen Geschichten.
Kurzbeschreibung:
Hugely original and erudite travelogue-come-memoir from one of Europe's most lauded writers
Klappentext:
'Sebald is the Joyce of the 21st Century' The Times
What begins as the record of W. G. Sebald's own journey on foot through coastal East Anglia, from Lowestoft to Bungay, becomes the conductor of evocations of people and cultures past and present. From Chateaubriand, Thomas Browne, Swinburne and Conrad, to fishing fleets, skulls and silkworms, the result is an intricately patterned and haunting book on the transience of all things human.
'A novel of ideas with a difference: it is nothing but ideas... Formally dexterous, fearlessly written (why shouldn't an essay be a novel?), and unremittingly arcane; by the end I was in tears' Teju Cole, Guardian

Formally dexterous, fearlessly written (why shouldn't an essay be a novel?), and unremittingly arcane; by the end I was in tears Teju Cole Guardian
