Edwin Muir Volgorde van de boeken
Edwin Muir was een Orcadische dichter, romanschrijver en vertaler, bekend om zijn bijdrage, samen met zijn vrouw Willa Anderson, aan de toegankelijkheid van Franz Kafka in het Engels. Muir's werk duikt in de complexiteit van de innerlijke wereld, waarbij hij vaak thema's als identiteit en herinnering onderzoekt. Zijn uitgebreide oeuvre aan poëzie en proza, bestaande uit diverse dichtbundels en romans, biedt een diepgaande inkijk in de menselijke ervaring. Muir's kenmerkende stijl wordt gekenmerkt door zijn introspectieve kwaliteit en meditatieve toon, waardoor lezers een uniek perspectief krijgen om existentiële vraagstukken te overwegen.

From his sheltered childhood in Orkney to the turmoil of industrial Glasgow, Edwin Muir was witness to some of the most traumatic years and events of our modern age.

Franz Kafka's enigmatic, deadpan, and deeply pessimistic stories are central to literary modernism. In 'The Metamorphosis', the estrangement of everyday life becomes corporealized when Gregor Samsa wakes up as a giant bug and wonders how he is going to get to work on time. Kafka inverts the implied degradation of a man's transformation into an animal in 'A Report of the Academy', an ape's address to a group of scientists.
