«Atlas eines ängstlichen Mannes» is Christoph Ransmayr's travel narrative, published by S. Fischer in hardcover (456 pages, in German).
The book's narrator opens each episode with «Ich sah…» («I saw…») and links scenes ranging from the volcanoes of Java to the waters of the Mekong and the Danube, from Arctic ice to Himalayan passes and Pacific islands. Each landscape adds to an atlas that maps human life, its moments of joy and its losses.
