temps disparus. Il chemine dans le souvenir des oeuvres fantasques de Thomas Browne, commente la leçon d'anatomie immortalisée par Rembrandt, croise le destin de Joseph Conrad en route vers le Congo, se souvient d'un film sur la pêche au hareng, songe aux grandes batailles navales et à leur représentation picturale, réfléchit à la "purification" dans les Balkans au milieu du siècle, évoque Chateaubriand ou le poète Edward FitzGerald et, quelques pages plus loin, revient à la fascinante histoire de la sériciculture en Chine puis en Europe. Tel est en effet le monde selon W. G. Sebald : une nébuleuse d'histoires et de rêves évanouis, un émouvant kaléidoscope de fragments et d'éclats où se reflète encore, pour celui qui sait voir, la trace précaire de nos ensevelissements successifs. 1999.
