The Emigrants by W.G. Sebald
Requirements: Mobi Reader, 4.11 mb
Overview: A profound and original work of fiction, ''The Emigrants'' pursues the stories of four people as they move from land to land -- and, above all, as they move through history. In tracing these wanderings, W. G. Sebald has created an end-of-century meditation that explores the most delicate, most painful, most nervously repressed and carefully concealed lesions of the last hundred years.
Published in German in 1992, Mr. Sebald's book is now appearing in a sensitive and elegant English translation by Michael Hulse. In German fiction, ''The Emigrants'' stands alongside Gregor von Rezzori's ''Memoirs of an Anti-Semite,'' which similarly is composed of related stories, explores the personal past in historical circumstances and meditates upon the significance of the Jews and of Jewish identity in our understanding of the cultural complexes of modern Europe. Yet ''The Emigrants'' is not exactly a fictional memoir. Rather, it is the record of its narrator's investigations into the mysterious memories of others, preserved in stories that dramatize the sometimes treacherous enchantment of memory itself. In the shaping of these stories, Mr. Sebald's book reflects the irresistible retrospective circlings of our contemporary culture, even as he pursues a post-modern fictional inspection of the delicate relationship between memory and history.
