More about the book

This edition allows readers to engage with the original texts of Franz Kafka's stories, free from the alterations made by his friend and editor Max Brod after his death. It compiles all writings by Kafka that can be classified as "stories," "narratives," "narrative pieces," "prose poems," or "fragments," translated directly from the original texts without filters or edits. The selection criteria focused on works belonging to the realm of fiction, excluding autobiographical writings and other texts where Kafka addresses personal situations from a non-literary perspective. This carefully prepared edition reflects a recent trend in German-speaking countries to publish Kafka's manuscripts in facsimile, presenting a chronological arrangement that showcases the creative evolution of this 20th-century classic.
