Max Brod, Franz Kafka : Un inedito di Franz Kafka (Traduzione e note con testo a fronte in originale)

This is the first translation onto Italian as well as the first parallel text edition (German / Italian) of Max Brod’s “Unpublished by Franz Kafka” (“Ungedrucktes von Franz Kafka”) originally printed on the weekly newspaper “Die Zeit” on 22.10.1965. The Text is also an Introduction to Kafka’s Fragment of 1906. The present translation has been compared with the three book-editions of “The Prague Circle” (1966; 1979; 2016) as well as with Kafka’s Fragment as it appears in the critical edition of his works: Franz Kafka, “Nachgelassene Schriften und Fragmente I” + “Apparatband”, hrsg. von Malcom Pasley, Fischer Taschebuch Verlag, Frankfurt am Main 1993). The translation is accompanied by explanatory and critical notes in order to signalize variations and, as for the only known Italian translation of 1971, an important oversight which needed emendation and greatly influences the reception of Kafka’s works and ideas.
