WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE FOR LITERATURE 'Repetition made a great
and, as I have since learned, lasting impression on me' W. G.
Sebald Filip Kobal, an Austrian teenager, is on the trail of his
missing older brother Gregor, who he never knew. All he has is two
of Gregor's books: a school copy book, and a dictionary in which
certain words have been marked. As he enters Slovenia on his
journey, Filip discovers something else entirely: the
transformative power of language to describe the world, and the
unnerving joy of being an outsider in a strange land. 'One of the
most moving evocations I have ever read of what it means to be
alive, to walk upon this earth' Gabriel Josipovici Translated by
Ralph Manheim
