Kafka: "up to the exposed nerve" - eBook

Visionary and lucid seer, he was one of the greatest writers of all time. Language was his "eternal lover." If it is offended, he said, all of humanity is offended, because it is the heritage of everyone. We receive it on loan from the dead and must leave it as an inheritance to the unborn. The pen in his hands was "a seismograph of the heart." A passionate observer of the theater of life, he was capable of self-analysis down to the "exposed nerve," with extreme intelligence and acute introspection. His masterpieces are not only among the greatest works in the history of literature but also a magnificent testimony of a keen understanding and emotional participation in the inevitable limits of existence. His ability to represent the human soul is one of the greatest lessons on the structure of the psyche and a prophetic vision of the future: a hundred years after his death, it seems he captured the contemporary world with words. This fluid and well-written text retraces in its two parts significant aspects of Kafka's work with interesting quotes that highlight and delve into the way of living and thinking of Franz Kafka, one of the major representatives of a fertile period of German literature in Bohemia, who narrated the anxieties and concerns of contemporary man. The occasion of this centenary allows us to become passionate about this author and to be amazed by the human and aesthetic horizons into which we gradually delve. Between narration and psychoanalysis, we find in the reading something that belongs to us and stimulates us. *Number of pages: 324* Author: [Patrizia Crippa](https://www.nepedizioni.com/patrizia-crippa/) [Pietro Andujar](https://www.nepedizioni.com/pietro-andujar/)
