Where will you go? Where is away-from-me? On the moon? Not even that is far enough, and you’ll never get there. So why the fuss? Wouldn’t you rather sit down in a corner somewhere, and be quiet? Wouldn’t that be an improvement? A warm, dark corner? Aren’t you listening? You’re feeling for the door. Well, where is it? So far as I remember, this room doesn’t have one. At the time this was built, no one had imagined such earth-shattering plans as yours. Well, no matter, a thought like yours won’t get lost, we will discuss it over dinner, and our laughter will be your reward.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelected by the preeminent Kafka biographer and scholar Reiner Stach and newly translated by the peerless Michael Hofmann, the seventy-four pieces gathered here have been lost to sight for decades and two of them have never been translated into English before. Some stories are several pages long; some run about a page; a handful are only a few lines long: all are marvels. Even the most fragmentary texts are revelations. These pieces were drawn from two large volumes of the S. Fischer Verlag edition \u003cem\u003eNachgelassene Schriften und Fragmente\u003c\/em\u003e (totaling some 1100 pages).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ND BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47486331093334,"sku":null,"price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/2121\/9205\/files\/shopify_1_2787b015-b90a-4cff-9ecb-2634e7902b94.png?v=1704791326","url":"https:\/\/todomodo.live\/en\/products\/the-lost-writings-franz-kafka","provider":"Todo Modo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
