The DEFINITVE critical biography of one of the world's greatest writers, "Franz Kafka: Representative Man" examines Kafka as the quintessential expression of modernism. Not just a personal biography, "Franz Kafka: Representative Man" presents a VIVID & AUTHORITATIVE picture of the historical, cultural, & artistic world from which Kafka arose, examining the entire body of his writing in light of his status as the "representative man" of our time. Freud, Nietzsche, Einstein, Picasso, Rilke, Mahler, Stravinsky--all were part of the radically subversive movement known as "modernism", & all are included in Dr. Karl's MONUMENTAL study. Yet of all these brilliant minds that transformed our notions of the human condition, it is Kafka who has come to embody our century. Informed by a lifetime of thought & research, & drawing on newly discovered letters--not yet translated into English--from Kafka to his parents, Frederick Karl, the acclaimed biographer of Conrad & Faulkner, leads us on an intellectual journey through the labyrinth of Prague amid the growing ethnic tensions that would explode in the Second World War, in an empire struggling w/ its national identity & on the verge of collapse. Dr. Karl, w/ astonishing command & penetrating insight, interweaves the many strands of person, place, & time to illuminate Kafka the individual, the artist, & the representative man. This book is an INVALUABLE contribution to literary studies & the history of modern culture. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: FREDERICK R. KARL is well-known for his two acclaimed biographies, "Joseph Conrad: The Three Lives" and "Wiiliam Faulkner: American Writer", which was selected by the NYTBR as on of the best books of 1989. He has written several books of criticism: "American Fictions, 1940-1980"; "Modern & Modernism: The Sovereignity of the Artist, 1885-1925"; and "The Adversary Literature." He is general editor & volume coeditor of "The Collected Letters of Joseph Conrad". He also wrote a superb biography of George Ellot. Dr. Karl was a Professor of Literature at New York University. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.
