Descripción
This edition contains the English and German text. (Letter to His Father / Brief an den Vater)
Letter to Father is considered the key to the literary work of Franz Kafka (1883-1924). This impressive testimony of a dramatic father-son conflict is an exceptional document in world literature. At once an indictment and a self-analysis, it gives the reader an insight into the complex inner life of its author. In a vivid captivating style, Kafka attempts to settle accounts with his authoritarian father, who appeared to him so tyrannical and omnipotent that he could write: "Sometimes I imagine the map of of the world spread out and you stretched diagonally across it."
