Acontecimentos emocionalmente pungentes que atormentam a Humanidade

Eduardo Jorge S. G.

Sebald terá deixado uma marca indelével na literatura contemporânea com a sua obra “Austerlitz”. É um romance histórico que nos conduz a uma análise dos fenómenos ligados à vida dos homens em sociedade, à realidade humana e social. Fenómenos que têm implicações simultaneamente em vários níveis e em diferentes dimensões do real humano e do social. As marcas deixadas por conflitos e atrocidades, ferem a dignidade humana, concorrendo para estados mentais de melancolia, ou de depressão profunda. Muitas questões ao longo do tempo permanecerão sem resposta, por mais que a procuremos.
