First Edition
Hardcover. Dust Jacket Included. F. A very good plus tight copy in a very good, bright and tight dustjacket/brodart covered, FIRST EDITION. The dustjacket spine has a number someone has written with a black marker. This is not a library copy. Otherwise, this would be a fine dustjacket. This book on Goethe by Pietro Citati - a well-known Italian literary ritic - is primarily a work of great imagination: through a careful study of Goethe, one of the western world's finest creative geniuses, Citati masterfully explores artistic creativity and its origins. "Faust II" and "Wilhelm Meister," two of Goethe's greatest works, are so meticulously analyzed in this book that even the reader equipped with but a minimal knowledge of Goethe will come away from Citati's Goethe knowing these two works intimately.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. "Kafka", by esteemed Italian literary scholar Pietro Citati, was translated by Raymond Rosenthal and published in 1990 by Alfred A. Knopf in New York. This is the First American Edition. It is now Out of Print. OP. ************************************************** Excerpted from the dust-jacket write-up : "Pietro Citati brings the full power of his intellect and perception to a major psychobiography of one of the most brilliant - yet personally elusive - writers of the twentieth century: Franz Kafka.This is a completely convincing exploration and recreation of Kafka's life - not so much its daily events (although the emotional architecture of the great friendship with Max Brod, Kafka's tormented relationship with his father, the extraordinary courtships of Felice Bauer and Milena Jesenská, are all wonderfully opened to fresh insight) as his inner life, and the continuous and astonishing process by which Kafka 'lived ' his stories - lived in the world of fantasy and literature, and made his writings metaphorical mirrors of his innermost life. "Citati leads us into the darkness - literally: into those hours between ten at night and six in the morning when Kafka learned, in his cramped little passageway - room in his parent's apartment, to leave behind the neurasthenic anguished that tormented him by day, and to submerge himself in a superhuman and terrible serenity - to gain access to a place - the story - where everything was placated and set into 'the right path'. And here we watch the miracle that takes place that makes him unique among modern writers : the exploration of an inner darkness that loses none of its disquieting power, the unconscious that assumes a shape and yet remains unconscious; reason never interposes its mediation, and yet the whole unknown archipelago is slowly illuminated as though it were a creation of the day - we are immersed simultaneously in the unconscious and in a vortex of light Citati takes us into the very creation of all the major works - 'Amerika', 'The Trial', 'The Castle', 'The Metamorphosis' ." ****************************************************** TITLE : Kafka / AUTHOR : Pietro Citati (1930 - 2022) / TRANSLATOR : Raymond Rosenthal (1914 - 1995) / IMPRINT : Alfred A.
