The Rings of Saturn

<b>Encountering an eccentric cast of characters along the way, Sebald confronts the frailty of human existence as he voyages along the Suffolk coast on foot.</b><br> <b><br></b> What begins as the record of a journey on foot through coastal East Anglia becomes the great, constellated story of people and cultures past and present- of Chateaubriand, Thomas Browne, Swinburne and Conrad, of fishing fleets, skulls and silkworms. A rich meditation on the past via a melancholy trip along the Suffolk coast, <i>The Rings of Saturn</i> is an intricately patterned and haunting book on the transience of all things human.<br> <b><br></b><b>VINTAGE VOYAGES- A world of journeys, from the tallest mountains to the depths of the mind</b>
