- Disambiguation notice
- Please do not combine "Young Austerlitz" with "Austerlitz". They cannot be considered to be the same work. "In 2005, as part of the celebrations of its 70th anniversary, Penguin (which owns Sebald’s British imprint H... (show all)amish Hamilton) issued excerpts from 70 titles spanning its publishing history. Austerlitz was chosen to represent the year 2001 and so a 58-page excerpt from Austerlitz was published in a slim paperback under the title Young Austerlitz. The excerpt covers pages 44 to 96 in the American edition, in which Austerlitz describes part of his childhood in Wales." -Vertigo
