"Campo Santo" is a testament to the evolution of W.G. Sebald's work, from literary studies, through bold essays freed from scientific constraints, to prose that cannot be classified by genre. The volume consists of four works written for a book about Corsica, which was never completed, as well as a dozen sketches devoted to figures such as Jean Amry, Bruce Chatwin, Peter Handke, Franz Kafka, Alexander Kluge or Vladimir Nabokov.

It is a discontinuous story about the birth and maturation of Sebald as a writer devoted to reflecting on the functioning of memory mechanisms, the blurred ontology of the world and the fall of civilization. The author of "Campo Santo" can even be considered an incarnation of the angel of history, known from Walter Benjamin's text: Where a chain of events appears before us, he sees one eternal catastrophe.
