"First published clothbound in 2000 and as New Directions Paperbook 925 in 2001; reissued as NDP1360 in 2016"--Title page verso.
Beyle, or Love is a madness most discreet -- All'estero -- Dr K. takes the waters at Riva -- Il ritorno in patria.
A unnamed narrator, beset by nervous ailments, is again the readers' guide on a hair-raising journey through the past and across Europe, amid the restless literary ghosts of Kafka, Stendhal, and Casanova. In four dizzying sections, Sebald, one of the most acclaimed European writers of our time, plunges the reader into vertigo, into that "swimming of the head" as Webster defines it.
