From their graves, they tell stories. Some recall just a moment -- perhaps the one in which they left this world, perhaps the one they now realize changed the course of their life forever. Some remember all the people they've been with, or the only person they ever loved. This chorus of voices -- young, old, rich, poor -- builds a picture of a community, seen from below ground. The streets of the sleepy provincial town are given shape and meaning by those who lived, loved, worked, mourned, and died there.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Field\u003c\/em\u003e is a constellation of human lives -- each one different yet connected to countless others -- that shows how existence, for all its fleetingness, still has profound meaning.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSeethaler, Robert:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eROBERT SEETHALER\u003c\/strong\u003e was born in Austria and now divides his time between Vienna and Berlin.
