In The Atlas of an Anxious Man, Christoph Ransmayr offers a
mesmerizing travel diary-a sprawling tale of earthly wonders seen
by a wandering eye. This is an exquisite, lyrically told travel
story. Translated by Simon Pare, this unique account follows
Ransmayr across the globe: from the shadow of Java's volcanoes to
the rapids of the Mekong and Danube Rivers, from the drift ice of
the Arctic Circle to Himalayan passes, and on to the disenchanted
islands of the South Pacific. Ransmayr begins again and again with,
"I saw. . ." recounting to the reader the stories of continents,
eras, and landscapes of the soul. Like maps, the episodes come
together to become a book of the world-one that charts the life and
death, happiness and fate of people bound up in images of
breathtaking beauty. "One of the German language's most gifted
young novelists."-Library Journal, on The Terrors of Ice and
Darkness
