Franz Kafka's final novel tells the haunting tale of a man known
only as K. and of his relentless, unavailing struggle with an
inscrutable authority in order to gain entrance to the Castle.
Although Kafka seemed to consider `The Castle` a failure, critics,
in wrestling with its enigmatic meaning, have recognized it as one
of the great novels of our century. Unfinished at Kafka's death in
1924, the manuscript of `The Castle` was edited for publication by
Kafka's friend and literary executor, Max Brod. Both Brod's edition
and the English-language translation of it that was prepared by
Willa and Edwin Muir in 1930 have long been considered flawed. This
new edition of Kafka's terrifying and comic masterpiece is the
product of an international team of experts who went back to
Kafka's original manuscript and notes to create an edition that is
as close as possible to the way the author left it. The `Times
Literary Supplement` hailed their work, saying that it will
`decisively alter our understanding of Kafka and render previous
editions obsolete.` Mark Harman's brilliant translation closely
follows the fluidity and breathlessness of the sparsely punctuated
original manuscript, revealing levels of comedy, energy, and visual
power that have not been previously accessible to English-language
readers. W. H. Auden likened Kafka to Dante, Shakespeare, and
Goethe as the single most important writer of his age. Here, in
this new edition, is a Kafka for the twenty-first century.
Úprimná spoveď matky – manželky, ktorú zlé rozhodnutia vženú priamo
do náruče odborníkov. Ako žena, matka a manželka si je vedomá
svojich chýb, ťarcha rozhodnutí je však oveľa silnejšia. Stráca
nielen svoju rodinu, ale aj to, čo jej bolo najbližšie. Svoje deti.
Skutočný príbeh, tak trochu drsný, trochu podaný s vtipom o ženách,
mužoch a deťoch, ktorým jediné rozhodnutie zmenilo život. V poradí
štrnásta kniha od obľúbenej Evity Urbaníkovej prináša príbeh, ktorý
je zasadený do prostredia rodiny a medziľudských vzťahov. Citát:
Niekedy máme v živote jednoducho smolu. Niekedy sa dostaneme do
prúseru, ani nevieme ako. Ale niekedy si za všetko, čo sa deje,
môžeme sami.
