Sebald, publicada en 2001, donde se relata la historia de un hombre sin pasado, sin patria ni idioma, que se siente como un intruso en todos los lugares. La novela comienza en la estación de Amberes, donde el narrador se encuentra por primera vez con el protagonista de la obra, y es ahí donde comienza a fraguarse la relación entre ambos, unas veces más íntima y otras más distante. A través de encuentros casuales o acordados entre el narrador y el protagonista, Jacques Austerlitz, se va revelando poco a poco la historia del viajero solitario. Austerlitz, niño judío refugiado en la década de 1940, llegó a Gales, donde se crio en la casa de un predicador y su mujer, personas mayores y tristes. Después de crecer largos años en un ambiente solitario, conoce su verdadero origen, lo que le hace sentirse como un extraño. La novela, escrita en frases largas y complejas, que recuerdan el estilo de Thomas Mann, resulta ser un viaje por la historia de Europa desde el capitalismo y la industrialización, pasando por los desastres del siglo xx: la persecución y el éxodo de los judíos, sobre todo. Gira en torno a la búsqueda de la identidad, el recuerdo y el relato, que permiten saberse perteneciente a una comunidad, escapando del desarraigo que sufre Austerlitz. WIKIPEDIA This book wasn't for me even though there are some beautiful and interesting passages. There are no chapters or paragraphs and therefore no place to rest or take a break from reading. It felt like I had to keep pushing on longer than I wanted to in any particular sitting. The few times I put it down, it became difficult to get back into the rhythm of the writing upon picking it up again.
He is one of the most gripping writers imaginable. It's not the story so much that takes hold of the reader: it's the descriptions and the meditations, which can be hallucinatory in their effect. This is true of all his books, but in Austerlitz the proportion of rumination and evocation to narrative is larger than ever. Sebald zeigt sich auf der epischen Langstrecke als großer Erzähler, denn mit "Austerlitz" hat er sich selbst übertroffen und ein Wunderwerk an unvergesslicher Prosa geschaffen. Wenn Austerlitz gegen Ende meint, von ihm werde nichts bleiben als ein Stapel Photographien, so hat ihn in diesem Punkt sein sonst so untrügliches Gespür zum Glück doch getäuscht. Denn Sebald ist es gelungen, Austerlitz hinüberzuerzählen und zu retten in ein bleibendes Stück Literatur, das der Vergänglichkeit trotzt.

"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."--P. [2] of cover. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

This was related, but very distinct to the two other novels by Sebald I’ve read, Rings of Saturn and Vertigo. Both of those were essentially travelogs where you learn about the nature of memory from tales of the past rooted in the present. Austerlitz shared some elements, such as the nature of memory, but the third party narration makes it less like you are hearing Sebald in your head, with its wonderful quirkiness. It is excellent, and heartbreaking, but not quite as good as the other two. ( )
