Franz Kafka was born to Jewish parents in Bohemia in 1883. Kafka s father was a luxury goods retailer who worked long hours and as a result never became close with his son. Kafka s relationship with his father greatly influenced his later writing and directly informed his Brief an den Vater (Letter to His Father). Kafka had a thorough education and was fluent in both German and Czech. As a young man, he was hired to work at an insurance company where he was quickly promoted despite his desire to devote his time to writing rather than insurance. Over the course of his life, Kafka wrote a great number of stories, letters, and essays, but burned the majority of his work before his death and requested that his friend Max Brod burn the rest. Brod, however, did not fulfill this request and published many of the works in the years following Kafka s death of tuberculosis in 1924. Thus, most of Kafka s works were published posthumously, and he did not live to see them recognized as some of the most important examples of literature of the twentieth century. Kafka s works are considered among the most significant pieces of existentialist writing, and he is remembered for his poignant depictions of internal conflicts with alienation and oppression. Some of Kafka s most famous works include The Metamorphosis, The Trial and The Castle.

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -»Der Reisende Gregor Samsa erwacht eines Morgens in seinem Bett als riesiges Ungeziefer. Das Wunder kommt als Qual. Die Qual existiert mit Eintritt der Erzählung. Sie braucht keine Motivation. Sie ist da. Die Spannung ist gegeben und weicht nicht bis zum letzten Augenblick . Niemand erstaunt über das Ereignis, man faßt es, man schweigt, man leidet, die Familie zieht sich in sich selbst zurück. Das Tier bleibt in seinem Zim-mer, niemand darf es sehen .« (Kasimir Edschmid)'Die Verwandlung' ist ein Kernstück des erzählerischen Werkes von Franz Kafka. Einer der wichtigsten, weil wirklich scharfsin-nig analysierenden Interpretationsversuche ist der von VIadimir Nabokov. Sein zusammenfassendes Urteil: »Gegensatz und Einheitlichkeit, Stil und Dargestelltes, Darstellung und Fabel sind in vollkommener Weise ineinander verwoben.« 144 pp. Deutsch.
