The Zurau Aphorisms

By Franz Kafka

0 - Default Title
Description
Franz Kafka spent eight months at his sister's house in Z rau between September 1917 and April 1918 enduring the onset of tuberculosis. Illness paradoxically set him free to write in a series of philosophical fragments his settling of accounts with life marriage his family guilt and man's condition. These aphorisms have appeared with minor revisions in various posthumous works since his death in 1924. By chance Roberto Calasso rediscovered Kafka's two original notebooks in Oxford's Bodleian Library.
The notebooks freshly translated and laid out as Kafka intended are a distillation of Kafka at his most powerful and enigmatic. This lost jewel provides the reader with a fresh perspective on the work of a genius.
