"One of the most original writers at work in England today" Robert McCrum, OBSERVER After Nature is W.G. Sebald's first literary work and the start of his highly personal and brilliant writing journey. In this long prose poem published in Germany in 1988 and now translated into English by Michael Hamburger, Sebald introduces many of the themes which he explores in his subsequent books and which will be familiar to readers of The Emigrants, The Rings of Saturn, Vertigo and Austerlitz. Focusing on the conflict between man and nature, each of the three distinct parts gives centre-stage to a different character from a different century - the last being Sebald himself.

Review:
"His work survives as a reminder not only of the heroism and nobility of literature but also of the human spirit." -- Sunday Times
"Like all great writers, he has the innate ability to blend the personal with the historical, the individual with the universal." -- Sunday Times
"allusive, dense, serious, but also immensely readable." -- Sunday Telegraph
"those who already love Sebald’s work will find this deeply engaging." -- Daily Telegraph
"you are immediately, unmistakeably in Sebald country ...it is also clear that you are in the company of a quiet genius." -- Sunday Times
