About this Item

First Impression. Octavo (19cm); light blue paper-covered boards, with titles stamped in gilt on spine and front cover; dustjacket; [6],7-446,[2]pp. Publisher's thin "Printed in Great Britain" label mounted to upper copyright page, resulting in some offsetting to the preceding and following pages. Fine in a Near Fine dustjacket, unclipped (priced 18s. net), with a hint of sunning to the grey portion of the spine, and a few tiny tears. An important posthumous collection of Kafka's work, selected and edited by his friend Max Brod, who provides an invaluable section of notes in the end matter. Includes Wedding Preparations in the Country (the fragments of one of Kafka's early, unfinished novels), "Reflections on Sin, Suffering, Hope, and the True Way," a letter to his father, fragments from notebooks and loose pages, and the contents of eight octavo notebooks, filled with aphorisms and other short writings.
