Описание: Howard Gardner describes the multiple intelligences theory, which posits that intelligence is more than a single property of the human mind, and how it has evolved and been revised. He introduces two new intelligences, and argues that the concept of intelligence should be broadened further. Three men walk the pages of this work: painter Mathias Grunewald, botanist G.W. Steller and W.G. Sebald himself. Written as a prose poem in three parts, it delves into each of these lives, teasing out the uncertainties of the past and revealing the burden that history places on our shoulders.

Описание: After Nature, W. G. Sebald's first literary work, now translated into English by Michael Hamburger, explores the lives of three men connected by their restless questioning of humankind's place in the natural world. From the efforts of each, "an order arises, in places beautiful and comforting, though more cruel, too, than the previous state of ignorance." The first figure is the great German Re-naissance painter Matthias Grunewald. The second is the Enlightenment botanist-explorer Georg Steller, who accompanied Bering to the Arctic. The third is the author himself, who describes his wanderings among landscapes scarred by the wrecked certainties of previous ages.

After Nature introduces many of the themes that W. G. Sebald explored in his subsequent books. A haunting vision of the waxing and waning tides of birth and devastation that lie behind and before us, it confirms the author's position as one of the most profound and original writers of our time.
