On The Natural History of Destruction - FE262
Sebald, W.G.
On The Natural History of Destruction.
London, Hamish Hamilton, 2003. Fine/Fine (unread). Translated from the German by Anthea Bell.
Sebald scorned the "holocaust" industry, disliking the sentimental portrayals of terrible events. He observed the reluctance of his fellow German writers to come to terms with and respond to the mass destruction of cities in Europe. These essays on the air raids in the second World War caused an outcry in Germany when they were published in 1999. First of Sebald's non-fiction books to be published in the UK. Liberally illustrated with contemporary and post-war photographs. First printings already scarce - reprinted before publication.
