«After Nature» is W. G. Sebald's prose poem, published by Penguin Books in paperback (128 pages, in English).
After Nature is W. G. Sebald's first literary work and is structured in three episodes that explore the relationship between human beings and nature through the painter Matthias Grünewald, the botanist G. W. Steller, and Sebald himself. Memory, destruction, and the weight of history emerge in them, recurring motifs in his later work.
Translation by Michael Hamburger from the original German.
