Austerlitz

About

A man named Jacques Austerlitz embarks on a search for his true identity, triggered by fleeting memories from his childhood. Raised by a Welsh couple after arriving in England on a Kindertransport in 1939, Austerlitz uncovers his past and struggles to make sense of his heritage in the midst of the void left by twentieth-century Europe. Through a thirty-year conversation with an unnamed narrator, Austerlitz delves into his memories and grapples with the universal quest for self-discovery and identity. This acclaimed work by W. G. Sebald weaves together themes of memory, heritage, and the human experience.
