The rings of Saturn
Sebald, W. G. (Winfried Georg), 1944-2001, author1998 - 2019
What begins as the record of a journey on foot through coastal East Anglia becomes the great, constellated story of people and cultures past and present: of Chateaubriand, Thomas Browne, Swinburne and Conrad, of fishing fleets, skulls and silkworms. A rich meditation on the past via a melancholy trip along the Suffolk coast, 'The Rings of Saturn' is an intricately patterned and haunting book on the transience of all things human.
