Description
Kafka: The Decisive Years is the central volume of a definitive biography of Franz Kafka. Reiner Stach spent over a decade working with extensive archival material to recreate the atmosphere in which Kafka lived and worked from 1910 to 1915, a period that saw him produce some of his most seminal writings.
During this time, Kafka worked with intense focus on works such as The Trial, The Metamorphosis, The Man Who Disappeared (Amerika), and The Judgment. He was also drawn to Zionism and engaged in a tumultuous relationship with Felice Bauer, amidst the outbreak of World War I.
This biography offers an extraordinary portrait of the writer and a groundbreaking contribution to literary biography, shedding new light on Kafka's life and work during this pivotal period.
