London: Hamish Hamilton. 2001. 8vo. Original brown cloth-backed boards with gilt lettering to spine and publisher's device; illustrated dust jacket; pp. 414, [2]; minor crease to top left corner of rear panel of dust jacket; otherwise a fine copy.First UK edition.Sebald's final novel, Austerlitz, takes the form of a fictionalised biography centred on Jacques Austerlitz, an architectural historian haunted by the suppressed memories of his early life as a Jewish child evacuated from Czechoslovakia in 1939 and a survivor of the Holocaust. Deprived of the reality of his own origins, Austerlitz undertakes a haunting search to reconstruct his past and recover what remains of his lost identity - tracing, through fragments and echoes, the fragile boundaries between memory, history, and loss.
