A Walking Tour Through The Haunted Landscapes Of The Past, In The Company Of The Exiled And The Departed.The Rings Of Saturn Begins As The Record Of A Journey On Foot Through Coastal East Anglia. From Lowestoft To Southwold To Bungay, Sebald'S Own Story Becomes The Conductor Of Evocations Of People And Cultures Past And Present: Of Chateaubriand, Thomas Browne, Swinburne And Conrad, Of Fishing Fleets, Skulls And Silkworms. The Result Is A Book Unlike Any Other In Contemporary Literature, An Intricately Patterned And Endlessly Thought-Provoking Meditation On The Transience Of All Things Human.

W.G. Sebald was born in Wertach im Allgau, Germany, in 1944. He studied German language and literature in Freiburg, Switzerland, and Manchester. He has taught at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England, since 1970, becoming professor of European literature in 1987, and from 1989 to 194 was the first director of the British Center for Literary Translation. His three previous books have won a number of international awards, including the Los Angeles Times Book Award for fiction, the Berlin Literature Prize, and the Literatur Nord Prize.
