description

http://schema.org/description

  • "Un homme voyage à pied. Il arpente le Suffolk, contrée faiblement peuplée de la côte est de l'Angleterre. Le voyageur solitaire tombe sur les traces d'un passé tantôt glorieux, tantôt honteux, placé sous le signe de l'éternelle dévastation. Balade entre présent et passé, histoire humaine et histoire naturelle, rêve et réalité."
  • "A fictional account of a walking tour through England's East Anglia whose sights and sounds conjure up images of Britain's imperial past. They range from the slave trade to the Battle of Britain. By the author of The Emigrants."

  • "Verslag van een cultuurhistorische voettocht door het Engelse graafschap Suffolk."
  • ""A fictional account of a walking tour through England's East Anglia, Sebald's home for more than twenty years, The Rings of Saturn explores Britain's pastoral and imperial past. Its ten strange and beautiful chapters, with their curious archive of photographs, consider dreams and reality. As the narrator walks, a company of ghosts keeps him company - Thomas Browne, Swinburne, Chateaubriand, Joseph Conrad, Borges - conductors between the past and present. The narrator meets lonely eccentrics inhabiting tumble-down mansions, and hears of the furious coastal battles of two world wars. He tells of far-off China and the introduction of the silk industry to Norwich. He walks to the now forsaken harbor where Conrad first set foot on English soil and visits the site of the once-great city of Dunwich, now sunk in the sea, where schools of herring swim. As the narrator catalogs the transmigration of whole worlds, the reader is mesmerized by change and oblivion, survival and memories. Blending fiction and history, Sebald's art is as strange and beautiful as the rings of Saturn, created from fragments of shattered moons."--Publisher's description."@en
