From late 1917 until June 1919, Franz Kafka ceased to keep a diary, for which he had used quarto-size notebooks, instead writing in a series of smaller, octavo-size notebooks. When Kafka's literary executor, Max Brod, published the diaries in 1948, he omitted these notebooks--which include short stories, fragments of stories and other literary writings--because, he wrote, "notations of a diary nature, dates, are found in them only as a rare ex...

Excerpt from Der Heizer: Ein FragmentEbenso auch Ihren Regenschirm." "Kennen Sie sich auf dem Schiff aus?" fragte Karl mißtrauisch und es schien ihm, als hätte der sonst überzeugende Gedanke, daß auf dem leeren Schiff seine Sachen am besten zu finden sein würden, einen verborgenen Haken. "Ich bin doch Schiffsheizer, " sagte der Mann. "Sie sind Schiffsheizer!" rief Karl freudig, als überstiege das alle Erwartungen, und sah, den Ellbogen aufgest...

Franz Kafka met Felice Bauer in August 1912, at the home of his friend Max Brod. Energetic, down-to-earth, and life-affirming, the twenty-five-year-old secretary was everything Kafka was not, and he was instantly smitten. Because he was living in Prague and she in Berlin, his courtship was largely an epistolary one-passionate, self-deprecating, and anxious letters sent almost daily, sometimes even two or three times a day. But soon after their...

Franz Kafka's imagination so far outstripped the forms and conventions of the literary tradition he inherited that he was forced to turn that tradition inside out in order to tell his splendid, mysterious tales. Scrupulously naturalistic on the surface, uncanny in their depths, these stories represent the achieved art of a modern master who had the gift of making our problematic spiritual life palpable and real. This edition of his stories inc...

Im Jahr 1914 von der "Neuen Rundschau" abgelehnt, erschien diese "Wanzeng...
