Beschreibung
From George Fabian, the author of the transformative biography of Karl Marx, comes this story of Franz Kafka, the enigmatic star of the literary Pantheon. As he traverses this well-mapped territory, Fabian draws on new evidence and familiarity with Kafka's world centered on Prague to explore dark corners of this gentle writer's life, identify explosive impulses he grappled with, and trace their impact on his literary production. The core of the story conveys the background and real-life motivation behind such intriguing gems of modern literature as The Metamorphosis, The Trial, and The Castle. Also introduced is Kafka's secret love affair that spiced his major texts and may have not yet played itself out: The direct descendants of this affirmed bachelor may be living among us.
Whether absorbed by Kafka's mystique or miffed by it, may you find this biography insightful and stimulating enough to visit his writings again.

Über den Autor
A graduate of Prague's Charles University, George Fabian pursued advanced education and research in Germany, Canada, and the United States. Both by training and instincts he is an inspective historian and author straddling the worlds of ideas, politics, and culture. He debuted in English with Karl Marx Prince of Darkness (2011), a massive re-write of life and legacy of the 'father of communism'. His latest challenge to conformity is the biography of Franz Kafka, the iconic Prague writer notable for inscrutability. With the support of unexplored sources and original photos, Fabian navigates through the maze of facts and fables to render a fresh, surprisingly revealing representation of Kafka the man, his novels, and his women.
