Austerlitz is a novel by the German writer W.G. Sebald, published in 2001. The novel tells the story of Jacques Austerlitz, a man who was sent to Wales from Czechoslovakia as a child to escape the Holocaust. Austerlitz grows up without knowing his true identity and only in adulthood begins to discover his past. Through chance encounters and fragmented memories, Austerlitz reconstructs his personal and family history, exploring themes such as memory, identity, loss, and the trauma of war. The novel is a meditation on 20th-century European history and the experience of refugees and displaced persons.
Winfried Georg Sebald, known as W. G. Sebald or Max Sebald, was a German writer and academic. At the time of his death at the age of 57, he was according to The New Yorker "widely recognized for his extraordinary contribution to world literature."
