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.
Malcolm Pasley Boeken
5 april 1926 – 4 maart 2004
Sir John Malcolm Sabine Pasley was een literatuurwetenschapper en Fellow van de British Academy, bekend om zijn toegewijde werk aan de publicatie van de geschriften van Franz Kafka. Na uitgebreide onderhandelingen nam hij persoonlijk de manuscripten van Kafka in bezit die aan Max Brod waren toevertrouwd. In 1961 faciliteerde Pasley het transport van deze belangrijke literaire werken van Zwitserland naar de Bodleian Library in Oxford. Zijn wetenschappelijke inspanningen waren cruciaal voor het behoud en de verspreiding van Kafka's unieke literaire nalatenschap.
The Castle
- 390bladzijden
- 14 uur lezen
Translated and with a preface by Mark Harman Left unfinished by Kafka in 1922 and not published until 1926, two years after his death, The Castle is the haunting tale of K.’s relentless, unavailing struggle with an inscrutable authority in order to gain access to the Castle. Scrupulously following the fluidity and breathlessness of the sparsely punctuated original manuscript, Mark Harman’s new translation reveals levels of comedy, energy, and visual power previously unknown to English language readers.
