Sebald's celebrated masterpiece includes a new Introduction by acclaimed critic James Wood. \u003ci\u003eAusterlitz\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eKindertransport\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eW.G.
