Frants Kafka (1883-1924) - odin iz samykh vlijatelnykh pisatelej XX veka, klassik nemetskojazychnoj literatury i kljuchevaja figura modernizma. Ego proza uznavaema po pugajusche jasnomu stilju, v kotorom predelnaja tochnost jazyka sochetaetsja s atmosferoj trevogi, absurda i otchuzhdennosti. Kafka v novykh formakh osmyslivaet fundamentalnye voprosy chelovecheskogo suschestvovanija - viny, vlasti, bespomoschnosti, odinochestva i neprozrachnosti slozhnykh sistem. Ego teksty, pri vneshnej prostote, raskryvajut glubokie psikhologicheskie i filosofskie sloi, a sozdannye im situatsii stali naritsatelnymi: "kafkianskij" teper oznachaet stolknovenie cheloveka s irratsionalnymi, nepostizhimymi silami. V odin zimnij vecher zemlemer K. pribyvaet v zanesennuju snegom derevnju u podnozhija gory, na kotoroj stoit zamok. Zhiteli derevni, a zatem i sam K., okazyvajutsja pod tainstvennym vlijaniem zamka i ego userdnykh chinovnikov, kotorye, ostajutsja neulovimymi i nepostizhimymi. I K. stalkivaetsja s mirom nedosjagaemym, zamknutym na bjurokraticheskom apparate. No chtoby obustroitsja v derevne K. nuzhno ofitsialnoe razreshenie ot kantseljarii zamka, odnako chto zhe nuzhno zamku?..
Kafka's last great, unfinished novel - the book that hangs over the whole modern era like a nightmare. With a new introduction and notes by John ZilcoskyThe Castle is the story of K., the unwanted Land Surveyor who is never to be admitted to the Castle nor accepted in the village, and yet cannot go home. As he encounters dualities of certainty and doubt, hope and fear, and reason and nonsense, K.'s struggles in the absurd, labyrinthine world where he finds himself seem to reveal an inexplicable truth about the nature of existence. Kafka began The Castle in 1922 and it was never finished, yet this, the last of his three great novels, draws fascinating conclusions that make it feel strangely complete.
I have only one request," Kafka wrote to his publisher Kurt Wolff in 1913. "'The Stoker, ' 'The Metamorphosis, ' and 'The Judgment' belong together, both inwardly and outwardly. There is an obvious connection among the three, and, even more important, a secret one, for which reason I would be reluctant to forego the chance of having them published together in a book, which might be called "The Sons.""
? Briefe schreiben heißt sich vor den Gespenstern entblößen, worauf sie gierig warten. Geschriebene Küsse kommen nicht an ihren Ort, sondern werden von den Gespenstern auf dem Wege ausge-trunken . . .? Zu Beginn des Jahres 1920 hatte Franz Kafka Milena kennengelernt. Zwischen ihr und Kafka entstand eine sehr innige Freundschaft. Schon Kafkas Tagebücher haben uns die wirkliche Tiefe dieser Freundschaft gezeigt. Doch ahnen wir dort nur, was sich hier in diesen zum erstenmal veröffentlichten Briefen offenbart: ein Liebesroman, eine Orgie an Verzweiflung, Seligkeit, Selbstzerfleischung und Selbsterniedrigung. ? In der rücksichtslosen Enthüllung menschlicher Größe und Schwachheit, Leidenschaft und Feigheit, kann dieser Band als Lebensdokument nur etwa mit Rousseaus >Bekenntnissen< verglichen werden.? Die Welt
Franz Kafka is one of the most important figures in twentieth-century culture. The fascination of his work has long since reached international proportions, and the concept 'Kafkaesque' has entered the English Language as an everyday part of speech. This new edition of Kafka's famous story contains a critical introduction and notes which help to explain how the author achieves his particular effects. The editors are concerned less with what the story means then with how it blocks and baffles its reader, provoking them into an interpretation through its combination of clues and counter-clues, its questions and its uncertainties. Careful attention is therefore paid to the 'openness' of the text, to point of view, and to Kafka's use of language. The editors also consider the important biographical and cultural influences which shaped the writing of the story, and they outline some of the very different ways in which it has been interpreted --biographically, socially and psychologically. A select vocabulary, aimed at the demands of the sixth-form pupil, is also included, and the text itself is taken from the original hardback edition.
