The Aphorisms of Franz Kafka by Franz Kafka Paperback Book

Description: The Aphorisms of Franz Kafka by Franz Kafka, Reiner Stach, Shelley Frisch Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description In 1917 and 1918, Franz Kafka wrote a set of more than 100 aphorisms, known as the Zrau aphorisms, after the Bohemian village in which he composed them. Among the most mysterious of Kafkas writings, they explore philosophical questions about truth, good and evil, and the spiritual and sensory world. This is the first annotated, bilingual volume of these extraordinary writings, which provide great insight into Kafkas mind. Edited, introduced, and with commentaries by preeminent Kafka biographer and authority Reiner Stach, and freshly translated by Shelley Frisch, this beautiful volume presents each aphorism on its own page in English and the original German, with accessible and enlightening notes on facing pages.The most complex of Kafkas writings, the aphorisms merge literary and analytical thinking and are radical in their ideas, original in their images and metaphors, and exceptionally condensed in their language. Offering up Kafkas characteristically unsettling charms, the aphorisms at times put readers in unfamiliar, even inhospitable territory, which can then turn luminous: I have never been in this place before: breathing works differently, and a star shines next to the sun, more dazzlingly still.Above all, this volume reveals that these multifaceted gems arent far removed from Kafkas novels and stories but are instead situated squarely within his cosmos - arguably at its very core. Long neglected by Kafka readers and scholars, his aphorisms have finally been given their full due here. Author Biography Reiner Stach is the author of the definitive three-volume biography of Franz Kafka: Kafka: The Early Years; Kafka: The Decisive Years; and Kafka: The Years of Insight (all Princeton).
