«Diaris 1910-1923» is the compilation of Franz Kafka's diaries, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (448 pages, in Catalan).
It brings together the notebooks Franz Kafka wrote between 1910 and 1923, the year before his death. They offer an intimate look at life in Prague and collect his dreams, his relationship with his father, the woman he never married, guilt, and the feeling of being a stranger.
It belongs to the MOLU s.XX – Les Millors Obres de la literatura universal collection, published by Edicions 62 together with «la Caixa». The text, originally written in German, was translated into Catalan by Francesca Martínez.
For readers of diaries and intimate literature, and for those who want to approach the figure of Franz Kafka.
Franz Kafka was a German-language Jewish Czech writer and novelist born in Prague, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Widely regarded as a major figure of 20th-century literature, his works fuse elements of realism and the fantastique, and typically feature isolated protagonists facing bizarre or surreal predicaments and incomprehensible bureaucratic powers. The term Kafkaesque has entered the lexicon to describe situations like those depicted in his writings. His best-known works include the novella The Metamorphosis (1915) and the novels The Trial (1924) and The Castle (1926). He is also celebrated for his brief fables and aphorisms, which frequently incorporated comedic elements alongside the darker themes of his longer works. His work has widely influenced artists, philosophers, composers, filmmakers, literary historians, religious scholars, and cultural theorists.
