Focusing on the conflict between man and nature, this book, in each of its three distinct parts, gives centre stage to a different character from a different century - the last being W G Sebald himself.

After Nature is the very first literary work by W. G. Sebald, author of Austerlitz

'The greatest writer of our time' Peter Carey
