Description: Letters to Friends, Family, and Editors by Franz Kafka, Richard Winston, Clara Winston Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "This volume is based on the collection of Kafkas Briefe, edited by Max Brod and published in 1958." -- page vii. Publisher Description Now back in print, more than two decades worth of revelatory letters--sometimes surprisingly humorous, sometimes heart-wrenchingly sad--to the men and women with whom Franz Kafka maintained his closest personal relationships.More than two decades of letters from one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century-the author of The Metamorphosis and The Trial-to the people in his life, from his years as a student in Prague in the early 1900s to his final months in the sanatorium near Vienna where he died in 1924.Sometimes surprisingly humorous, sometimes wrenchingly sad, these letters, collected after Kafkas death by his friend and literary executor Max Brod, include charming notes to school friends; fascinating accounts to Brod about his work in its various stages of publication; correspondence with his publisher, Kurt Wolff, about manuscripts in progress, suggested book titles, type design, and late royalty statements; revealing exchanges with other young writers of the day, including Martin Buber and Felix Weltsch, on life, literature, and girls; and heartbreaking reports to his parents, sisters, and friends on the declining state of his health in the last months of his life. Author Biography FRANZ KAFKA was born in Prague in 1883 and died of tuberculosis in a sanatorium near Vienna in 1924. After earning a law degree in 1906, he worked for most of his adult life at the Workers Accident Insurance Institute in Prague. Only a small portion of Kafkas writings were published during his lifetime. He left instructions for his friend and literary executor Max Brod to destroy all of his unpublished work after his death, instructions Brod famously ignored.
