For reasons of their own, the childless calvinist couple erase from the boy all knowledge of his identity. Austerlitz, who eventually becomes an architectural historian, goes through life assiduously avoiding all clues that might point to his origins and to the fate of his true parents. It is only in his retirement that the past returns to haunt him and makes him explore what happened to him half a century ago'.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. SEBALD, W.G. Austerlitz. London: Hamish Hamilton, 2001. Translated from the German by Anthea Bell. First English edition, first impression. Sebald's final novel. First issue dust-jacket with £16.99 to the rear flap. A haunting mixture of history and memoir, Austerlitz is the story of a man's search for the answer to his life's central riddle. A small child when he comes to England on a Kindertransport in the summer of 1939, Jacques Austerlitz is told nothing of his real family by the Welsh Methodist minister and his wife who raise him. When he is a much older man, fleeting memories return to him, and obeying an instinct he only dimly understands, Austerlitz follows their trail back to the world he left behind a half century before. There, faced with the void at the heart of twentieth-century Europe, he struggles to rescue his heritage from oblivion. 414 pp. B/w photos. Hardback. (ISBN: 9780241141250). As new in dust-jacket.…
