Opis (eng)

Abstract: As a foreword to his book The Rings of Saturn a contemporary German writer W. G. Sebald uses an encyclopedic entry on the rings of Saturn: the rings of Saturn consist of icy crystals and probably meteorite particles describing circular orbits around planet’s equator. In all likelihood these are the fragments of a former moon that was too close to the planet and was destroyed by its tidal effect. Those opening sentences are the most precise illustration of a key concept of Sebald’s book, as well as being emblematic of his very understanding of space and time. His fragmentary approach to time that is constructed out of shatters of different pasts and presents, it is respectively a part of our own modern vision of temporality, and as this text will try to prove, it repersents a great legacy to the Baroque aesthetics.
