Synopsis "The Unhappiness of Being a Single Man: Essential Stories"

The best stories by the one of the twentieth century's greatest and most influential writers No one has captured the modern experience, its wild dreams, strange joys, its neuroses and boredom, better than Franz Kafka. His vision, with its absurdity and twisted humour, has lost none of its force or relevance today. This essential collection, translated and selected by Alexander Starritt, casts fresh light on Kafka's genius. Alongside brutal depictions of violence and justice are jokes and deceptively slight, mysterious fables. These unforgettable pieces reflect the brilliance at the core of Franz Kafka, arguably most fully expressed within his short stories. Together they showcase a writer of unmatched imaginative depth, capable of expressing the most profound reality with a wry smile.

(Praga, Imperio austrohúngaro, 1883 - Kierling, Austria, 1924) Escritor bohemo en lengua alemana. Su obra, de las más influyentes de la literatura universal, es una de las pioneras en la fusión de elementos realistas con fantásticos y tiene como principales temas los conflictos paternofiliales, la ansiedad, el existencialismo, la brutalidad física y psicológica, la culpa, la filosofía del absurdo, la burocracia y las transformaciones espirituales. Escribió novelas insignes y gran número de relatos cortos, además dejó una abundante correspondencia y escritos autobiográficos. Su peculiar estilo literario ha sido comúnmente asociado con la filosofía artística del existencialismo y el expresionismo. Sus relaciones personales también tuvieron gran impacto en su escritura. El término kafkiano se usa en español para describir situaciones insólitas, por lo absurdas y angustiosas.
