A place in the country

Sebald, W. G. (Winfried Georg), 1944-2013
Books, Manuscripts
When W.G. Sebald travelled to Manchester in 1966, he packed in his bags certain literary favourites which would remain central to him throughout the rest of his life and during the years when he was settled in England. In 'A Place in the Country', he reflects on six of the figures who shaped him as a person and as a writer, from Jean-Jacques Rousseau to Jan Peter Tripp.
