A Walking Tour Through The Haunted Landscapes Of The Past, In The Company Of The Exiled And The Departed.The Rings Of Saturn Begins As The Record Of A Journey On Foot Through Coastal East Anglia. From Lowestoft To Southwold To Bungay, Sebald'S Own Story Becomes The Conductor Of Evocations Of People And Cultures Past And Present: Of Chateaubriand, Thomas Browne, Swinburne And Conrad, Of Fishing Fleets, Skulls And Silkworms. The Result Is A Book Unlike Any Other In Contemporary Literature, An Intricately Patterned And Endlessly Thought-Provoking Meditation On The Transience Of All Things Human.
