Expeditions to Kafka: Selected Essays de Professor or Dr. Stanley Corngold

Expeditions to Kafka: Selected Essays

Autor Professor or Dr. Stanley Corngold
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 sep 2023
In this new volume of Kafka studies, which is addressed to both beginning readers of Kafka as well as Kafka scholars, Stanley Corngold discusses Kafka's work in a variety of novel perspectives, including Goethe's The Sufferings of Young Werther; Nietzsche's conception of aphoristic form; bureaucratic organization; accident and risk; the logic of possession and inheritance; and myth, among others.Even as Corngold explores Kafka's work across different fields and tangents, he does so in vivid, readable prose, free of jargon, and with an eye to Kafka's ongoing relevance to the concerns of his day and ours. Taken together these linked essays reveal Kafka in his astonishing many-sidedness.

Recenzii

With superb erudition and his inimitable flair, Stanley Corngold's Expeditions offer a magisterial guide through the intricate and ambiguous terrain of Kafka's texts. Insights abound, providing a comprehensive and consistently profound investigation that strikes the perfect balance between drawing interpretive conclusions and maintaining hermeneutic openness-a culminating accomplishment by Kafka's most inspired and most inspiring reader.
You are not being introduced to Kafka - you fall into his stories as you fall into a trap, the bait emerging in the interstices between his words and your mind. That said, Corngold's Expeditions are by far the best introduction to Kafka I have seen. He invites you to join him on his ventures into Continent Kafka, and he inspires you to stray off from his expeditions on your own terms, and risk.
Stanley Corngold has been reading, reflecting, and commenting on Kafka and his writings for more than half a century. He has become our most penetrating and luminous guide to Kafka's labyrinthine world. These essays, the distillate of a lifetime, manage both to reveal and to preserve the mystery of Kafka's genius.
