Lutanje kao izraz egzila u Zabaldovim "Iseljenicima"

Abstract

W. G. Sebald, who has spent twenty years of his life as an emigrant in England, reflects on the topic of exile in his novel The Emigrants. Defining the novel as 'four long stories with lots of illustrations', Sebald presents the fate of four Europeans of Jewish origin, who left their home country before the World War Two. Based on the research of spatial categories of homeland, and in accordance with the state of eviction and absence of homeland, this paper discusses the ways in which exile manifests itself in this novel. The author also examines whether roaming can be seen as an expression of exile and how it relates to the ancient motif of an eternally wandering Jew.
