On The Natural History of Destruction |
|
|
|
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.

Hodgson, Thomas Rahilley This Life This Death Routledge, London, 1943. Very Good (some discoloration at top of front and rear boards and minor bumping of lower corners). No dustjacket but inner flap is retained within the book and the text on it reads as follows "Flight Lieutenant Hodgson was killed whilst flying in May 1941 at the age of twenty-six. He was a brilliant and original poet, who had held his work in reserve. It will, we believe, be recognised as one of the most lyrical visions of his age."
