520 1 $a"Eighty years after his death, Franz Kafka remains one of the most intriguing figures in the history of world literature. Yet there has not been a definitive biography of him until now. For ten years Reiner Stach has worked with more than four thousand pages of journal entries, letters, and literary fragments, many never before available, to produce an account of Kafka and his world. In this volume, the first of three, Stach addresses the years 1910 to 1915, years that would prove crucial to the development of Kafka's writing. In 1912 he began to work with near-miraculous intensity on his seminal writings - "The Judgment" and "The Metamorphosis," Amerika and The Trial. Stach takes us through the composition of these major pieces day by day and, in some cases, hour by hour. These are also the years of Kafka's fascination with early forms of Zionism and the Yiddish theater despite his longing to be assimilated into the minority German culture in Prague; of his off-again, on-again engagement to Felice Bauer; of his long friendship with Max Brod; and of the outbreak of World War I, a war whose horrors Kafka's own writings sometimes seemed to prefigure."--BOOK JACKET.
