Beschreibung

First impression of the first edition in English, with the no. "1" on the printer's page. Translated from the German by Anthea Bell. With monochrome photographic illustrations throughout. This copy has the first state dustwrapper, with the price �16.99 on the lower corner of the back flap. ***Near fine in burgundy cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. Boards clean and unmarked. Slight creasing to the head and tail of the spine, and a small area of creasing at the bottom of the front board near the spine. Corners sharp. Spine tight, without any reading creases. Top edge of page block nice and clean. ***In a near fine monochrome photo-illustrated dustwrapper, that has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's price of �16.99 to the bottom corner of the back flap [first state]. Top edge of the front panel of the dustwrapper is slightly rubbed and creased. Head and tail of spine of dustwrapper slightly creased. Spine of dustwrapper gently faded (as is common with this title) but the titles are beautifully bright. No chips. No tears. ***224mm x 146mm. 416 pages. ***In the summer of 1939, five-year-old Jacques Austerlitz is sent to England on one of the so-called Kindertransports and placed with foster parents in Wales. 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'. [Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper] ***A first impression of the first edition in English, complete in its original dustwrapper, which is first state i.e. priced to the back flap not the front flap. A heavy book, printed on thick photo-quality paper, and hard to find in such near fine condition in first impression. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

'One of the most exciting, and most mysteriously sublime, of contemporary European writers' Guardian In this major work, the finest of his career to date, W.G. Sebald traces the moving and epic story of Jacques Austerlitz. Sent to Wales on the last Kindertransport from Europe on the eve of the Second World War, five-year-old Austerlitz is adopted by Welsh Calvinists, who decide to remove any trace of his true origins. Throughout his life Austerlitz is haunted by feelings of otherness, but it is not until retirement that he embarks on a journey to make sense of his curious early memories, taking the reader back into the heart of pre-war Europe...
