This volume makes available for the first time in English a comprehensive reconstruction of the diary entries and provides substantial new content, including details, names, literary works, and passages of a sexual nature that were omitted from previous publications. By faithfully reproducing the diaries’ distinctive—and often surprisingly unpolished—writing in Kafka’s notebooks, translator Ross Benjamin brings to light not only the author’s use of the diaries for literary experimentation and private self-expression, but also their value as a work of art in themselves.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHardcover\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e704 pages\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSchocken, 2023\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6.2 x 9.25 inches\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN 9780805243550\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLiterature, Kafka\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43149198360744,"sku":"9780805243550","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/products\/The_Diaries_of_Franz_Kafka_2023_ed.png?v=1674849197","url":"https:\/\/neue-galerie-design-shop.myshopify.com\/products\/the-diaries-of-franz-kafka","provider":"Neue Galerie Design Shop \u0026 Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
