Translated by Edwin and Willa Muir. With an introduction by Edwin Muir. A superior example scarce in this condition. The limits of Kafka's messianic vision correspond to the great skepticism with which he regarded the possibility of transcending the human predicament . . .

At precisely the moment when his spirit is called K. is asleep" W. G. Sebald.
