«Les Émigrants» is the short-story collection by W. G. Sebald, published by Gallimard in paperback (308 pages, in French).
The book brings together four stories of Jewish exiles marked by the twentieth century. A narrator, the author's double, follows their footsteps through European and American cities, and the photographs embedded in the text work like an album of memories. Sebald moves between document and fiction to speak of loss, uprootedness and memory.
Work originally published as «Die Ausgewanderten» in 1992; this French edition, translated by Patrick Charbonneau and published in 2003, bears number 3832 in the Folio collection.
For readers of literary fiction and contemporary German literature, interested in memory, exile and the role of images.
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."
