via kulturaliberalna.pl complain
The protagonist of the novel Jacques Austerlitz, who dedicated his life to the study of forts', palaces' and castles' device, suddenly realizes that he knows nothing about his personal history, except the fact that in 1941 his 5-year-old boy was taken to England. And now, decades later, he is sitting in archives and libraries, raising the crumbs inside his own 'museum of lost things', 'personal history of disasters'.
