First published in Germany in 1988, this long prose poem is now translated into English by the award-winning poet and translator, Michael Hamburger.

\"A deeply intelligent book, but also a marvellously warm and intelligent one\" Andrew Motion

Three men walk the pages of W. G. Sebald's first literary work -- the painter Mathias Grünewald, the botanist G. W. Steller and W. G. Sebald himself. Written as a long poem in three parts, AFTER NATURE delves into each of these lives in turn, teasing out the haunting uncertainties of the past and revealing the terrible burden that history places on all of our shoulders.
