The diaries of the acclaimed author of The Metamorphosis and The Trial--one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century--provide a penetrating look into Prague and the life and dreams of one of the most important writers of the twentieth century.

These diaries cover the years 1910 to 1923, the year before Kafka's death at the age of forty. They provide a look into Kafka's accounts of his dreams, his feelings for the father he worshipped and the woman he could not bring himself to marry, his sense of guilt, and his feelings of being an outcast. They offer an account of a life of almost unbearable intensity.

Industry Reviews

"In Kafka we have before us the modern mind splendidly trained for the great game of pretending that the world it comprehends in sterilized sobriety is the only and ultimate reality there is--yet a mind living in sin with the soul of Abraham. Thus he knows two things at once, and both with equal assurance: that there is no God, and that there must be a God. It is the perspective of the curse: the intellect dreaming of its dream of absolute freedom, and the soul knowing of its terrible bondage." --Erich Heller "It is likely that these journals will be regarded as one of [Kafka's] major literary works; his life and personality were perfectly suited to the diary form, and in these pages he reveals what he customarily hid from the world." --The New Yorker
