Beskrivning
The Rings of Saturn, with its curious archive of photographs, records a walking tour of the eastern coast of England. A few of the things that cross the path and mind of its narrator (who both is and is not Sebald) are lonely eccentrics. Rembrandt's "Anatomy Lesson", the natural history of the herring, Borges, a matchstick model of the Temple of Jerusalem, Sir Thomas Browne's skull, recession-hit seaside towns, Joseph Conrad, the once-thriving silk industry of Norwich, Swinburne, the dowager Empress Tzu Hsi, and the massive bombings of WWII.Mesmerized by the mutability of all things, the narrator catalogs the transmigration of whole worlds: "On every new thing, there lies already the shadow of annihilation."

Recensioner i media

"The book is like a dream you want to last  translation from the German seems little short  of miraculous. The book is so natural and  accessible, and yet so odd, that one is left  enchanted and also curious about the author, who presents such a prodigious mass of material in  such a modest and engaging way. As you read  along, and as you become an active participant  in the unfolding of this book."
