This is the most comprehensive and recent translation of Franz Kafka's stories, including short and long tales: the most renowned, as well as many that are less known to the broader audience. With all previous major English translations dating as far back as well before World War Two, the refreshing effort to bring Kafka anew to today's readers was long overdue. Rendered with absolute faithfulness to the original German text (also presented in this book), and with a language that is fully comprehensible to the twenty first century English speaking audience, the tantalizing modernity of Kafka's work compels us to delve into our sense of annihilation, the one of the individual before the overwhelming mechanisms of power, existence, and social relations.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, Note: 2-, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main (Institut für deutsche Sprache und Literatur 1), Veranstaltung: Franz Kafka: Erzählungen, 16 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der Text Vor dem Gesetz von Franz Kafka erschien erstmals in der Selbstwehr, einer jüdischen Wochenschrift, in Jahre 1915. Nach dem Tod Kafkas erschien die Türhüterlegende, wie der Text auch genannt wird, im neunten Kapitel des Prozeß- Romans. In dem Roman selbst wird die Legende schon als ein schwierig zu interpretierender Text angesprochen. Ein Geistlicher, der die Geschichte dort Josef K., dem Protagonisten, erzählt, gibt selbst den Anstoß zur Interpretation und bespricht mit Josef K. einige sich widersprechende Deutungen. Auch durch diese Komplexität gibt es sehr viele verschiedene Deutungen, die entweder den Romankontext miteinbeziehen oder die Deutung im Roman untersuchen oder den Text als einen Eigenständigen interpretieren. Kafka selbst hat seinen Text als gelungen angesehen, und er trennte die Schaffensphase und die Deutungsphase. Leider sagt Kafka in seinen Tagebüchern nichts über die Bedeutung, aber die Tatsache, dass Kafka den Text erst im Nachhinein verstanden hat, legt nahe, dass die Deutungen innerhalb des Prozeß- Romans nicht die Funktion haben, den Sinn der Türhüterlegende zu erschließen, da Kafka den Text sonst schon früher verstanden haben musste. Es gibt sicherlich bevorzugte Deutungsrichtungen, die durch den religiösen Rahmen des Prozeß- Romans im neunten Kapitel oder die erste theologische Deutung durch Kafkas Freund Max Brod nahegelegt werden. Viele Forscher sehen den Text auch als eine Parabel an. Der Name Kafkas allgemein wird heutzutage oft in Verbindung mit der Gattung Parabel gebracht. Der Kontext mit dem Prozeß- Roman legt dies nahe. Andere Forscher, wie beispielsweise Hartmut Binder, bestreiten, dass der Text eine Parabel ist. Binder ve

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.

The installation The Happy End of Franz Kafka s Amerika is the central work of the first comprehensive posthumous Kippenberger exhibition in Germany. The installation shows a kind of sports field: 49 bizarre tables and 98 absurd seats for job interviews in the museum, Kippenberger s vision of giving Franz Kafka s novel Amerika an unexpected happy end. After all, the novel hasn t really been read through by anybody. Complying with the increasing interest in the artist s work, this publication vividly recalls Kippenberger as the master of ironic art who dies in 1997 aged only 44 years. Includes a biography and a bibliography. English and German text.

A selection of critical essays on Franz Kafka's novel "The Trial."

Franz Kafka: The Office Writings brings together, for the first time in English, Kafka's most interesting professional writings, composed during his years as a high-ranking lawyer with the largest Workmen's Accident Insurance Institute in the Czech Lands of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Franz Kafka (1883-1924) is commonly recognized as the greatest German prose writer of the twentieth century. It is less well known that he had an established legal career. Kafka's briefs reveal him to be a canny bureaucrat, sharp litigator, and innovative thinker on the social, political, and legal issues of his time. His official preoccupations inspired many of the themes and strategies of the novels and stories he wrote at night. These documents include articles on workmen's compensation and workplace safety; appeals for the founding of a psychiatric hospital for shell-shocked veterans; and letters arguing relentlessly for a salary adequate to his merit. In adjudicating disputes, promoting legislative programs, and investigating workplace sites, Kafka's writings teem with details about the bureaucracy and technology of his day, such as spa elevators in Marienbad, the challenge of the automobile, and the perils of excavating in quarries while drunk. Beautifully translated, with valuable commentary by two of the world's leading Kafka scholars and one of America's most eminent civil rights lawyers, the documents cast rich light on the man and the writer and offer new insights to lovers of Kafka's novels and stories.

Part of the Jewish Encounter seriesRodger Kamenetz, acclaimed author of The Jew in the Lotus, has long been fascinated by the mystical tales of the Hasidic master Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav. And for many years he has taught a course in Prague on Franz Kafka. The more he thought about their lives and writings, the more aware he became of unexpected connections between them. Kafka was a secular artist fascinated by Jewish mysticism, and Rabbi Nachman was a religious mystic who used storytelling to reach out to secular Jews. Both men died close to age forty of tuberculosis. Both invented new forms of storytelling that explore the search for meaning in an illogical, unjust world. Both gained prominence with the posthumous publication of their writing. And both left strict instructions at the end of their lives that their unpublished books be burnt. Kamenetz takes his ideas on the road, traveling to Kafka’s birthplace in Prague and participating in the pilgrimage to Uman, the burial site of Rabbi Nachman visited by thousands of Jews every Jewish new year. He discusses the hallucinatory intensity of their visions and offers a rich analysis of Nachman’s and Kafka’s major works, revealing uncanny similarities in the inner lives of these two troubled and beloved figures, whose creative and religious struggles have much to teach us about the significant role played by the imagination in the Jewish spiritual experience.
