Kafka. Writing for Living
19.99 €
Franz Kafka is today one of the most famous names in the history of Western literature. But who was he at the beginning of his journey, in Prague at the beginning of the last century?
“I have no literary inclinations, I am simply made of literature, I am nothing but literature, and I can be nothing else,” wrote Franz Kafka to his fiancée Felice Bauer. Writing was his existence, which meant more to him than a finished work.
The renowned philosopher and biographer Rüdiger Safranski shows what writing can mean for life, how everything can be subordinated to it, what torments and moments of happiness arise from it, and what insights are revealed on this existential border.
Safranski tells about the moments of happiness that Kafka experiences at his desk, and about the moments when the world seems completely alien to him.
