Omschrijving
A great, strange and moving work
The finest book of long-distance mental travel that I've ever read
A desperate intensity of feeling is thrillingly counterpoised by the workings of a wonderfully learned and rigorous mind
Sebald is surely a major European author...he reaches the heights of epiphanic beauty only encountered normally in the likes of Proust
A highly original work...part memoir, part fiction, part meditative essay writing, and finally an essay for the dispossessed
