Beschreibung

Franz Kafka spent eight months at his sister's house in Z rau between September 1917 and April 1918 enduring the onset of tuberculosis. Illness paradoxically set him free to write in a series of philosophical fragments his settling of accounts with life marriage his family guilt and man's condition. These aphorisms have appeared with minor revisions in various posthumous works since his death in 1924. By chance Roberto Calasso rediscovered Kafka's two original notebooks in Oxford's Bodleian Library.

The notebooks freshly translated and laid out as Kafka intended are a distillation of Kafka at his most powerful and enigmatic. This lost jewel provides the reader with a fresh perspective on the work of a genius.

Über den Autor

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was born into a Jewish family in Prague. In 1906 he received a doctorate in jurisprudence, and for many years he worked a tedious job as a civil service lawyer investigating claims at the State Worker's Accident Insurance Institute. He never married, and published only a few slim volumes of stories during his lifetime. Meditation, a collection of sketches, appeared in 1912; The Stoker: A Fragment in 1913; Metamorphosis in 1915; The Judgement in 1916; In the Penal Colony in 1919; and A Country Doctor in 1920. The great novels were not published until after his death from tuberculosis: America, The Trial and The Castle.
