The Zurau Aphorisms by Franz Kafka
Franz Kafka spent eight months at his sister's house in Zurau between September 1917 and April 1918, enduring the onset of tuberculosis. By chance, Roberto Calasso rediscovered Kafka's two original notebooks in Oxford's Bodleian Library.
Born in Florence, Roberto Calasso lives in Milan, where he is publisher of Adelphi. He is the author amongst other titles of The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony, which was the winner of the Prix Veillon and the Prix du Meilleur Livre Etranger, Ka, and K. Michael Hofmann is a poet and critic, and the translator of many German and Austrian authors, including Elias Canetti, Ernst Junger, Wolfgang Koeppen, Thomas Bernhard and Joseph Roth. Geoffrey Brock received the PEN Center USA Translation Award and the MLA's Lois Roth Award for his translation of Cesare Pavese's Disaffections: Complete Poems 1930-1950. He is also the translator of Roberto Calasso's K.
