On The Natural History Of Destruction W.G. Sebald Additional Author mixed material bibliography Penguin 2004 monographic 224 W. G. Sebald completed this extraordinary, important and controversial book before his untimely death in December 2001. It is a harrowing study of the devastation of German cities by Allied bombardment in World War II, and an examination of the silence in German literature and culture about this unprecedented trauma. <b>On the Natural History of Destruction</b> is an essential and deeply relevant study of war and society, suffering and amnesia. Like Sebald�s novels, it is studded with meticulous observation, moments of black humour, and throughout, the author�s unmatched intelligence and humanity. 140298002 C2O library Online catalog (BETA) 833.91409358 SEB O 27 C2O library & collabtive (Literature & Literary Theory) 9000 OnTheNaturalHistoryOfDest453_f.jpg 27 2015-01-02 09:50:52 2015-01-02 09:50:52 machine generated
