The Emigrants is composed of four long narratives which at first appear to be the straightforward accounts of the lives of several Jewish exiles in England, Austria, and America. The narrator literally follows their footsteps, studding each story with photographs and creating the impression that the reader is poring over a family album. But gradually, Sebald's prose, which combines documentary description with almost hallucinatory fiction, exerts a new magic, and the four stories merge into one. Illustrated throughout with enigmatic photographs.

Ouvrage culte pour les urbanistes et les architectes, Walkscapes fait de la marche beaucoup plus qu'une simple promenade. Pour Francesco Careri, en effet, l'origine de l'architecture n'est pas à chercher dans les sociétés sédentaires mais dans le monde nomade. L'architecture est d'abord traversée des espaces : ce que Careri appelle parcours.
