About this title

Synopsis

Franz Kafka, arguably the most enigmatic writer of the 20th century, encounters the gentle, attentive, critical look of a world-class author in this book. Saul Friedländer, himself born in Prague and a lifetime of Kafka reader, looks at him with that tender incorruptibility that also constitutes the inimitable mastery of his history of the Holocaust. Friedländer's eye sees many things that even decades of Kafka research have not perceived. With a wonderful language and accurate knowledge of the works, with fine humor and accurate observation, Saul Friedländer portrays Franz Kafka as a poet of shame and guilt. He goes after his life, questions his Judaism, analyzes the unique irony of Kafka and also pursues the entwined soul situations that have left deep marks in the work. An introduction to the world of Kafka of conquering elegance and grace.
