WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE FOR LITERATURE\n'Repetition made a great and, as I have since learned, lasting impression on me' W. G. Sebald\nFilip Kobal, an Austrian teenager, is on the trail of his missing older brother Gregor, who he never knew. All he has is two of Gregor's books: a school copy book, and a dictionary in which certain words have been marked. As he enters Slovenia on his journey, Filip discovers something else entirely: the transformative power of language to describe the world, and the unnerving joy of being an outsider in a strange land.\n'One of the most moving evocations I have ever read of what it means to be alive, to walk upon this earth' Gabriel Josipovici\nTranslated by Ralph Manheim\n\nRepetition\n\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note that the price advertised is as low as we can go, we do not accept offers.\n\nWINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE FOR LITERATURE\n'Repet;
