A través de los encuentros entre el narrador y el misterioso Jacques Austerlitz, al que conoce accidentalmente en la estación de Amberes, se va desplegando un recorrido espectral por la civilización europea del siglo XX, un mundo de fortalezas, estaciones de tren, campos de concentración, librerías.
