Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Published to enormous critical acclaim in the U.S. and sold out immediately in its first hardcover edition, THE EMIGRANTS appears to be straightforward biography of four Germans in exile. But author W.G. Sebald has wrought "one of the best novels to appear since WWII" (REVIEW OF CONTEMPORARY FICTION) and three times chosen as the1996 International Book of the Year. Illustrated throughout with enigmatic photographs.
Review:
"Everything, it seems, is paid for....The bill comes around, our dreams send it. The German novelist and scholar W. G. Sebald has written a haunting and limitlessly suggestive book about the most terrible example in our memory. 'The Emigrants' is four narratives about the death that persists within survival. Each is about a German Jew who...escaped the Holocaust yet gradually succumbed to it years later, in his old age....[B]rilliant and somber..."
Richard Eder, Los Angeles Times Book Review, 10/27/1996
Review:"[A] sober, delicate account of displacement, and a classic of its kind. Modest and remote, it resurrects older standards of behaviour, making most contemporary writing seem brash and immature. No book has pleased me more this year."
Anita Brookner, Spectator, 11/16/1996

The Emigrants (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780811213660) Sebald, W. G.;Hulse, Michael Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: New Directions Publishing Corporation, United States, 1997. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 250 x 200 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. The four long narratives in W.G. Sebald's The Emigrants at first appear to be the straightforward biographies of four people in exile: a painter, an elderly Russian, the author's schoolteacher as well as his eccentric great-uncle Ambrose. Following (literally) in their footsteps, the narrator retraces routes which lead from Lithuania to London, from Munich to Manchester, from the South German provinces to Switzerland, France, New York, Constantinople, and Jerusalem. Along with memories of the Holocaust, he collects documents, diaries, pictures. Each story is illustrated with enigmatic photographs, making The Emigrants seem at times almost like a family album - but of families destroyed. Sebald weaves together variant forms (travelog, biography, autobiography, and historical monograph), combining precise documentary with fictional motifs. As he puts the question to "realism, " the four stories merge gradually into one requiem, overwhelming and indelible.
