19241145Berlin: Verlag die Schmiede 1924. First Edition. in German The last collection of short stories to be finished before Kafka’s death though it was published posthumously. Original green cloth it was also published in paper boards spine and extremities faded front hinge starting but holding strong near fine. The title story was published 2 years earlier in Die Neue Rundschau magazine the other three appeared for the first time in this book. The four stories comprising Kafka's final collection "Ein Hungerkünstler" are a culmination of his literary preoccupations with artistic alienation and the futility of human endeavor. Reading these stories it is easy to see how they form a cohesive thematic quartet despite their disparate subjects each examining the relationship between the exceptional individual and an indifferent community. In "Josefine die Sängerin oder Das Volk der Mäuse" perhaps the most enigmatic of the four tales Kafka constructs a complex allegory of artistic exceptionalism through the figure of Josephine a mouse whose singing—which the narrator suggests may be nothing more than ordinary squeaking—commands unusual attention from her mouse community. The narrative's persistent ambiguity regarding the actual quality of Josephine's art creates a tension between the performer's self-perception and the community's response foregrounding questions about the social function of art. Unlike the hunger artist whose talent is measurable through his capacity to endure prolonged fasting Josephine's artistry remains fundamentally unverifiable existing primarily through collective acknowledgment rather than objective criteria. This unstable ontological status of the artistic performance destabilizes conventional hierarchies between artist and audience suggesting that artistic value emerges not from inherent qualities but from the complex social negotiations between performer and community. The story's final movement documenting Josephine's disappearance and rapid forgetting by her community offers Kafka's most poignant commentary on artistic legacy—the once-celebrated performer vanishes "like a legend dissolving into the ordinary" leaving no trace of her supposedly transformative art.

New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Franz Kafka José Rafael Hernández Arias</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> Valdemar</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9788477022985</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2004</p><p><strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 400</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> Una mañana cualquiera Josef K. joven empleado de un banco se despierta en la pensión donde reside con la extraña visita de unos hombres que le comunican que está detenido -aunque por el momento seguirá libre-. Le informan de que se ha iniciado un proceso contra él y le aseguran que conocerá los cargos a su debido tiempo. Así comienza una de las más memorables y enigmáticas pesadillas jamás escritas. Para el protagonista Josef K. el proceso laberíntico en el que inesperadamente se ve inmerso supone una toma de conciencia de sí mismo un despertar que le obliga a reflexionar sobre su propia existencia sobre la pérdida de la inocencia y la aparición de la muerte. La lectura de El proceso produce cierto «horror vacui» pues nos sumerge en una existencia absurda en el filo de la navaja entre la vida y la nada. Max Brod amigo editor y albacea literario de Kafka tras su muerte conoció la existencia de la obra en 1914 pues Kafka según su costumbre le leyó algunos pasajes. Desde un primer momento quedó fascinado por la fuerza de la historia por lo que insistió como en otras ocasiones en que se publicara contra la habitual reticencia de su autor. Tras la prematura muerte por tuberculosis de Kafka en 1924 y a pesar de que el autor había manifestado en una nota su deseo de que todos sus escritos fuesen destruidos sin ser leídos Max Brod decidió publicar El proceso años después. La presente edición recoge el texto íntegro y la ordenación de Kafka sin los expurgos y arbitrariedades de las primeras ediciones de Max Brod.</p> Valdemar hardcover
