This splendid new translation presents an extraordinary work of modern literature, featuring facing-page commentary by Kafka's acclaimed biographer. Written in 1917 and 1918, the Zürau aphorisms consist of over 100 philosophical reflections composed in a Bohemian village. Among Kafka's most enigmatic writings, they delve into profound questions about truth, morality, and the spiritual and sensory realms. This bilingual volume is the first annotated edition, offering valuable insights into Kafka's mind. Edited and introduced by renowned biographer Reiner Stach, and translated by Shelley Frisch, each aphorism is displayed on its own page in both English and the original German, accompanied by enlightening notes. The aphorisms blend literary and analytical thought, showcasing radical ideas and original imagery, all conveyed in exceptionally condensed language. They evoke Kafka's unsettling charm, often leading readers into unfamiliar territory that can transform into moments of clarity: "I have never been in this place before: breathing works differently, and a star shines next to the sun, more dazzlingly still." Ultimately, this volume reveals that these multifaceted gems are deeply connected to Kafka's novels and stories, situated at the very heart of his literary cosmos. Long overlooked by readers and scholars, these aphorisms finally receive the attention they deserve.

These diaries cover the years 1910 to 1923, the year before Kafka’s death at the age of forty. They provide a penetrating look into life in Prague and into Kafka’s accounts of his dreams, his feelings for the father he worshipped and the woman he could not bring himself to marry, his sense of guilt, and his feelings of being an outcast. They offer an account of a life of almost unbearable intensity. From the Trade Paperback edition. The Diaries of Franz Kafka 1910-13 translated from the German by Joseph Kresh The Diaries of Franz Kafka 1914-23 translated from the German by Martin Greenberg with the cooperation of Hannah Arendt

To view the modern world is to see it through the lens of Franz Kafka, the defining writer of the twentieth century. In his exploration, Ernst Pawel captures Kafka's essence and the complex interplay of his work and life. Kafka has become a modern myth, shaped not only by his writings but also by distortions in biographies, especially the one by his close friend Max Brod. Pawel's achievement lies in situating Kafka within his historical context, revealing a life that surpasses the myths surrounding it. This account chronicles Kafka's life while vividly depicting the milieu of affluent Germanized Jewry and the intellectual vibrancy of Central Europe before World War I, as well as the collapse of Austria-Hungary. While informed by psychological insights, Pawel avoids relying solely on them, presenting Kafka not as a mere legend of a frail clerk but as a man who navigated the world, functioning as a reluctant yet effective business executive. Pawel's nuanced readings of Kafka's Judaism, his relationships with his parents, and his tumultuous engagements reveal a figure who, while typical of his age and class, also transcended them. His interpretations of Kafka's life and relationships are both revealing and persuasive, challenging preconceived notions.

Franz Kafka (3 July 1883 – 3 June 1924) was a German-language writer of novels and short stories, regarded by critics as one of the most influential authors of the 20th century. Kafka strongly influenced genres such as existentialism. Most of his works, such as "Die Verwandlung" ("The Metamorphosis"), "Der Prozess" ("The Trial"), and "Das Schloss" ("The Castle"), are filled with the themes and archetypes of alienation, physical and psychological brutality, parent–child conflict, characters on a terrifying quest, labyrinths of bureaucracy, and mystical transformations. Table of Contents: - The Metamorphosis - A Country Doctor - A Hunger Artist - A Report for an Academy - An Imperial Message - Before the Law - In the Penal Colony - Jackals and Arabs - The Great Wall of China - The Hunter Gracchus - The Trial - Up in the Gallery

Franz Kafka's writing immerses readers in a surreal and ambiguous realm where the nature of the nightmare remains elusive. His work explores themes of existential dread, alienation, and the absurdity of life, inviting deep reflection on the human condition. Kafka's unique narrative style and haunting imagery create an unsettling atmosphere that challenges perceptions of reality and identity, making his stories both compelling and thought-provoking.

(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)Franz Kafka’s imagination so far outstripped the forms and conventions of the literary tradition he inherited that he was forced to turn that tradition inside out in order to tell his splendid, mysterious tales. Scrupulously naturalistic on the surface, uncanny in their depths, these stories represent the achieved art of a modern master who had the gift of making our problematic spiritual life palpable and real.This edition of his stories includes all his available shorter fiction in a collection edited, arranged, and introduced by Gabriel Josipovici in ways that bring out the writer’s extraordinary range and intensity of vision.Translated by Willa and Edwin Muir

It is not well known that Franz Kafka liked to draw. From early on, his friend and literary executor Max Brod was of the opinion that Kafka was 'an artist of particular strength and individuality as a draughtsman too' and that it was unjust merely to regard his drawings as a 'curiosity.'

Featuring a meticulously curated collection of Franz Kafka's significant works, this book offers readers a comprehensive look into the themes and narratives that define his literary legacy. Known for his profound influence on world literature, Kafka's most notable pieces include "The Judgment," "The Metamorphosis," and "In the Penal Colony," among others. The collection is enhanced by a detailed and dynamic table of contents, ensuring an engaging reading experience. Kafka's works, largely published posthumously by his friend Max Brod, delve into existential and absurdist themes.

The last book published during Kafka's lifetime, A Hunger Artist (1924) explores many of the themes that were close to him: spiritual poverty, asceticism, futility, and the alienation of the modern artist. He edited the manuscript just before his death, and these four stories are some of his best known and most powerful work, marking his maturity as a writer. In addition to "First Sorrow," "A Little Woman," and "Josephine the Singer, or the Mouse People" is the title story, "A Hunger Artist," which has been called by the critic Heinz Politzer "a perfection, a fatal fulfillment that expresses Kafka's desire for permanence." The three volumes Twisted Spoon Press has published: Contemplation, A Country Doctor, and A Hunger Artist are the collections of stories that Kafka had published during his lifetime. Though each volume has its own distinctive character, they have most often appeared in English in collected editions. They are presented here as separate editions, in new translations by Kevin Blahut, each with its own illustrator from the Prague community.

Diese Buch Sammlung ist mit einem detaillierten und dynamischen Inhaltsverzeichnis versehen und wurde sorgfältig korrekturgelesen. Franz Kafka (1883-1924) war ein deutschsprachiger Schriftsteller. Kafkas Werke zählen unbestritten zum Kanon der Weltliteratur. Sein Hauptwerk bilden neben drei Romanfragmenten zahlreiche Erzählungen. Kafkas Werke wurden zum größeren Teil erst nach seinem Tod und gegen seine letztwillige Verfügung von Max Brod veröffentlicht, einem engen Freund und Vertrauten, den Kafka als Nachlassverwalter bestimmt hatte. Inhalt: • Das Urteil • Die Verwandlung • Ein Bericht für eine Akademie • In der Strafkolonie • Forschungen eines Hundes

Franz Kafka met Felice Bauer in August 1912, at the home of his friend Max Brod. Energetic, down-to-earth, and life-affirming, the twenty-five-year-old secretary was everything Kafka was not, and he was instantly smitten. Because he was living in Prague and she in Berlin, his courtship was largely an epistolary one--passionate, self-deprecating, and anxious letters sent almost daily, sometimes even two or three times a day. But soon after their engagement was announced in 1914, Kafka began to worry that marriage would interfere with his writing and his need for solitude.The more than five hundred letters Kafka wrote to Felice--through their breakup, a second engagement in 1917, and their final parting in the fall of that year, when Kafka began to feel the effects of the tuberculosis that would eventually claim his life--reveal the full measure of his inner turmoil as he tried, in vain, to balance his desire for human connection with what he felt were the solitary demands of his craft.

Published together for the first time are selections from all Kafka's writings: The Metamorphosis, Josephine The Singer, plus his short stories, parables, and his personal diaries and letters.

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.

Collected after his death by his friend and literary executor Max Brod, here are more than two decades' worth of Franz Kafka's letters to the men and women with whom he maintained his closest personal relationships, from his years as a student in Prague in the early 1900s to his final months in the sanatorium near Vienna where he died in 1924.Sometimes surprisingly humorous, sometimes wrenchingly sad, they include charming notes to school friends; fascinating accounts to Brod about his work in its various stages of publication; correspondence with his publisher, Kurt Wolff, about manuscripts in progress, suggested book titles, type design, and late royalty statements; revealing exchanges with other young writers of the day, including Martin Buber and Felix Weltsch, on life, literature, and girls; and heartbreaking reports to his parents, sisters, and friends on the declining state of his health in the last months of his life.

Letter to Father is considered the key to the literary work of Franz Kafka (1883-1924). This impressive testimony of a dramatic father-son conflict is an exceptional document in world literature. At once an indictment and a self-analysis, it gives the reader an insight into the complex inner life of its auther. In a vivid captivating style, Kafka attempts to settle accounts with his authoritarian father, who appeared to him so tyrannical and omnipotent that he could write: "Sometimes I imagine the map of of the world spread out and you stretched diagonally across it."

The Trial; The Castle; America: Both Joseph K In The Trial And K In The Castle Are Victims Of Anonymous Governing Forces Beyond Their Control. Both Are Atomised, Estranged And Rootless Citizens Deceived By Authoritarian Power. Whereas Joseph K Is Relentlessly Hunted Down For A Crime That Remains Nameless, K Ceaselessly Attempts To Enter The Castle And So Belong Somewhere. Together These Novels May Be Read As Powerful Allegories Of Totalitarian Government In Whatever Guise It Appears Today. In America Karl Rossmann Is 'Packed Off To America By His Parents' To Experience Oedipal And Cultural Isolation. Here, Ordinary Immigrants Are Also Strange, And 'America' Is Never Quite As Real As It Seems.

A culturally-influential and celebrated author, Kafka is generally considered to be one of the most accomplished writers of the 20th century. In this boxed set are collected together three of his major works, including the maginificent 'Metamorphosis and Other Stories'.

This volume contains all of Kafka's shorter fiction, from fragments, parables and sketches to longer tales. Together they reveal the breadth of Kafka's literary vision and the extraordinary imaginative depth of his thought. Some are well-known, others are mere jottings, observations of daily life, given artistic form through Kafka's unique perception of the world.

I have only one request," Kafka wrote to his publisher Kurt Wolff in 1913. "'The Stoker,' 'The Metamorphosis,' and 'The Judgment' belong together, both inwardly and outwardly. There is an obvious connection among the three, and, even more important, a secret one, for which reason I would be reluctant to forego the chance of having them published together in a book, which might be called The Sons."Seventy-five years later, Kafka's request is granted, in a volume including these three classic stories of filial revolt as well as his own poignant "Letter to His Father," another "son story" located between fiction and autobiography. A devastating indictment of the modern family, The Sons represents Kafka's most concentrated literary achievement as well as the story of his own domestic tragedy. Grouped together under this new title and in newly revised translations, these texts—the like of which Kafka had never written before and (as he claimed at the end of his life) would never again equal—take on fresh, compelling meaning.

Both Joseph K inThe Trialand K inThe Castleare victims of anonymous governing forces beyond their control. Both are atomized, estranged and rootless citizens deceived by authoritarian power. Whereas Joseph K is relentlessly hunted down for a crime that remains nameless, K ceaselessly attempts to enter the castle, and so belong somewhere. Both novels may be read as powerful allegories of totalitarian government. InAmerica, Karl Rossman experiences Oedipal and cultural isolation, and finds that “America” is never quite as real as it seems.

From one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, the author of The Metamorphosis and The Trial: A collection that brings together the stories he allowed to be published during his lifetime, including his best-known tale of a man who wakes up transformed into an insect. To Max Brod, his literary executor, Kafka wrote: “Of all my writings the only books that can stand are these.” “Kafka’s survey of the insectile situation of young Jews in inner Bohemia can hardly be improved upon: ‘With their posterior legs they were still glued to their father’s Jewishness and with their wavering anterior legs they found no new ground.’ There is a sense in which Kafka’s Jewish question (‘What have I in common with Jews?’) has become everybody’s question, Jewish alienation the template for all our doubts. What is Muslimness? What is femaleness? What is Polishness? These days we all find our anterior legs flailing before us. We’re all insects, all Ungeziefer, now.” —Zadie Smith, bestselling author of White Teeth and On Beauty

Kafka first made the aquaintance of Milena Jesenska in 1920 when she was translating his early short prose into Czech, and their relationship quickly developed into a deep attachment. Such was his feeliing for her that Kafka showed her his diaries and, in doing so, laid bare his heart and his conscience. Milena, for her part, was passionate and intrepid, cool and intelligent in her decisions but reckless when her emotions were involved. Kafka once described her as living her life 'so intensely down to such depths'. If she did suffer through him, it was part of her great appetite for life. However while at times Milena's 'genius for living' gave Kafka new life, it ultimately exhausted him, and their relationship was to last little over two years. Kafka died in 1944 at the hands of the Nazis - these letters are a moving record of their relationship.

At age 82, Clifton Fadiman continues his prolific publishing career, here presenting 62 of the world's best short stories from 16 countries. His criteria? "Each story had to be both interesting and of high literary merit." Fadiman fulfills both requirements and much more, offering a cornucopia of superior 20th-century writers that includes Franz Kafka, D. H. Lawrence, Isaac Babel, F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, John Cheever, Sean O'Faolain, Graham Greene, Robert Penn Warren, Colette, John Updike, Donald Barthelme, and James Thurber. (Regrettably, J. D. Salinger is not included due to lack of permission.) Here is a truly remarkable collection of this century's short stories that readers from all over the world will read with delight.

"His language is crystal clear, and on the surface one observes, in a sense, no other aim than to be accurate, lucid, and suitable to the subject. And yet dreams, visions of measureless depth, are conveyed beneath the serene mirror of this pure stream of language. One peers into it and is spellbound by beauty and originality" --Max Brod in Die Neue (Rundschau 1921) Translated from German by Jon Calame and Seth Rogoff. Story index: The Judgement. A Story The Stoker. A Fragment The Bucket-Rider In the Penal Colony Great Noise The First Chapter of "Richard and Samuel" by Max Brod and Franz Kafka The Air Show at Brescia

The whole town got involved with the hunger-artist; from day to day of his starving, people's participation grew; everyone wanted to see the hunger-artist at least once a day; on the later days there were season-ticket holders who sat for days on end in front of his little cage Reading these stories by the master of the absurd is like entering a dreamworld in which nothing, and yet somehow everything, makes sense.

Students of German language and literature will welcome this dual-language edition of five stories by Franz Kafka (1883–1924). Considered one of the greatest modern writers, Kafka wrote tales that brilliantly explore the anxiety, futility, and complexity of modern life.The stories in this volume are "The Metamorphosis" (thought by many critics to be Kafka's most perfect work), "The Judgment," "In the Penal Colony," "A Country Doctor," and "A Report to an Academy." Along with the original German texts, Stanley Applebaum has provided accurate English translations on facing pages, affording students an ideal opportunity to read some of Kafka's finest stories in the original, to discover the passion and profundity of this extremely important figure in modern European literature, and to upgrade their German language skills.

In May 2005 Penguin will publish 70 unique titles to celebrate the company's 70th birthday. The titles in the Pocket Penguins series are emblematic of the renowned breadth of quality of the Penguin list and will hark back to Penguin founder Allen Lane's vision of good books for all'. as among the greatest works of early twentieth-century literature. His most famous and influential work, Metamorphosis, depicting a man who wakes up to discover he has been turned into an insect, was first published by Penguin in 1961. These lucid stories and brief fables describe the cruel absurdities he believed dominate human life.

Karl Rossman has been banished by his parents to America, following a family scandal. There, with unquenchable optimism, he throws himself into the strange experiences that lie before him as he slowly makes his way into the interior of the great continent. Kafka's first novel (begun in 1911 and never finished) is infused with a quite un-Kafkaesque blitheness and sunniness, brought to life in this lyrical translation that returns to the original manuscript of the book.

At the Prague Castle, in house No. 22, in the Golden Lane, Franz Kafka (1883-1924) wrote these short stories, which were published in his lifetime under this title.

Description of a Struggle is a three-part story written by Franz Kafka between 1903 and 1907. It constitutes his oldest surviving work and was only published after his death. The first and third sections describe Prague society- and night-life from the point of view of the author and his acquaintance. The central section can be viewed as a fantastical dream sequence divided into several sub-sections. Kafka wrote two versions of this story.

After Franz Kafka's death, in perhaps the most important of all acts of literary disobedience, his executor refused to agree to Kafka's wish that his great mass of unpublished fiction be destroyed. This fiction included not only The Castle and The Trial but also the amazingly varied, chilling and ingenious short works collected in The Burrow and Other Stories. These tales, some little more than a page, others much more substantial, are among the greatest works of Central European literature. They vary from the tiny and horrifying 'Little Fable' to the elaborate waking nightmares of 'Building the Great Wall of China' and the title story 'The Burrow', in which an unidentified creature describes its creation of an endlessly elaborate burrow to protect itself from unidentified enemies, but with every trap or tunnel only creating further terrors and uncertainty.

In this volume, British artist David Musgrave revisits Franz Kafka's novella Blumfeld, an Elderly Bachelor , the tale of a man who arrives home one day to find two plastic balls bouncing off the ground of their own accord. To his great irritation, these balls follow Blumfeld--who is a stickler for absolute order in his universe--wherever he goes, and his attempts to divest himself of their presence are described with Kafka's customary flair for the detached observation of the extremely bizarre. Musgrave has responded to Kafka's story with a series of pencil drawings of curious artifacts and pseudo-archaeological fragments of his own invention. Combined with John Morgan's austere design--which finds the book typeset in Kafka's preferred font and large type size, which he was never able to see printed in his lifetime--this volume almost feels like a case study of some unique bygone supernatural phenomenon.

In these stories the obscure, yet terrifyingly clear world of Franz Kafka is given enigmatic force. The author's themes are not the fashionable ones of alienation, angst and existentialism; they are powerful allegories of man's spiritual exile from the reality of twentieth-century Europe.

The Castle: Arriving in a village to take up the position of land surveyor for the mysterious lord of a castle, the character known as K finds himself in a bitter and baffling struggle to contact his new employer and go about his duties. As the villagers and the Castle officials block his efforts at every turn, K's consuming quest - quite possibly a self-imposed one - to penetrate the inaccessible heart of the Castle and take its measure is repeatedly frustrated. Kafka once suggested that the would-be surveyor in The Castle is driven by a wish "to get clear about ultimate things," an unrealizable desire that provided the driving force behind all of Kafka's dazzlingly uncanny fictions. The Trial: Written in 1914, The Trial is the terrifying tale of Josef K, a respectable bank officer who is suddenly arrested and must defend himself against a charge about which he can get no information. Kafka's nightmare has resonated with chilling truth for generations of readers.

In this new selection and translation, Peter Wortsman mines Franz Kafka's entire opus of short prose - including works published in the author's brief lifetime, posthumously published stories, journals and letters. The result is a thorough plumbing of the imaginative depths of the great German-Jewish scribe from Prague that refreshes the writer's mythic storytelling powers for a new generation of readers.

Acclaimed as one of the founding Masters of Modern World literature, Franz Kafka's influence has been too far,too wide and too deep for any comprehensive assessment.Enigmatic and paradoxical,full of predicaments of the modern man, these pieces of fiction reveal the breath of Kafka's literary vision and the extraordinary imaginative depth of his thought.

Questo libro raccoglie l'opera narrativa di uno tra i maggiori scrittori del Novecento, colui che più di ogni altro ha dato voce alle inquietudini dell'uomo moderno. America (iniziato nel 1910 e pubblicato nel 1927), Il processo (scritto tra il 1914 e il 1915, pubblicato nel 1924), e Il castello (scritto nel 1922 e pubblicato nel 1926) sono ormai tra i più celebri romanzi della letteratura moderna, in cui ritorna, pur sotto differenti trame, il tema dell'angoscia per una persecuzione assurda e incomprensibile. Lo sguardo appassionato e acuto e l'intelligenza profonda del giovane Franz svelano e rendono altissima letteratura le contraddizioni, i drammi, la violenza e la stupidità nascosti sotto le apparenze del reale. Un posto di rilievo nell'opera di Kafka spetta anche ai racconti, molti dei quali, come La metamorfosi, Nella colonia penale, Il messaggio imperiale, sono veri capolavori.

"Sú dva hlavné ľudské hriechy, z ktorých sa odvodzujú všetky ostatné: nedočkavosť a nedbanlivosť. Pre nedočkavosť ich vyhnali z raja, pre nedbanlivosť sa ta nevrátia. Azda však len jediný hriech je hlavný: nedočkavosť. Pre ňu ich vyhnali, pre ňu sa ta nevrátia," píše vo svojich slávnych Aforizmoch kultová postava literatúry 20. storočia, pražský rodák Franz Kafka (1883-1924). Spolu s krátkymi prózami sa prostredníctvom bratislavského vydavateľstva Causa editio (preklad Milan Žitný z nemeckého originálu Das Erzählerische Werk, 1988) po prvýkrát v takejto podobe dostávajú do rúk slovenského čitateľa. Prvá časť Kafkových Krátkych próz povedľa Aforizmov (1917-1920) obsahuje spisovateľov knižný debut Rozjímanie (1912), Tresty (1916), Vidiecky lekár (1919) a Umelec hladovky (1924). Všetky texty vyšli ešte počas Kafkovho života a i tieto krátke epické útvary umožnili autorovi na spôsob šifry a podobenstva obnažiť absurdnosť ľudského života a zároveň upozorniť na hroziace odcudzenie a deštrukciu ľudskosti.

Das Buch bietet eine tiefgehende Analyse von Frauenfiguren in der neueren deutschen Literatur. Es untersucht, wie diese Charaktere in verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen und historischen Kontexten dargestellt werden und welche Rolle sie im literarischen Diskurs spielen. Der Fokus liegt auf der literarischen Repräsentation von Frauen und deren Einfluss auf die Entwicklung der deutschen Literatur. Zudem werden zentrale Themen wie Identität, Emanzipation und Geschlechterrollen behandelt, um ein umfassendes Bild der weiblichen Perspektive in der Literatur zu zeichnen.
