"This important new collection from the Kafka manuscripts housed in the Schocken Library at Jerusalem, under the editorship of Max Brod, contains at least two pieces of major interest. 'Wedding Preparations,' the title story, was never completed, but it significant in showing Kafka at the outset of his literary career, already a master of language, but still uncertain how best to handle his material. . Even more important, because fundamental to any understanding of Kafka, is the 'Letter to My [sic] Father,' printed in full for the first time. Written at the age of 36, it can surely be called unique in world literature, a classic example of the complex relationship between artist son and businessman father. This remarkable document, of which hitherto only tantalising fragments have appeared in English, together with the recently published 'Letters to Milena,' throws new light on the inner workings of Kafka's fantastic mind. In addition, a large number of short pieces, stories and fragments from the notebooks appear for the first time, and a few (newly translated) which were originally printed in 'The Great Wall of China.'" Contents: "Wedding Preparations in the Country"; "Reflections on Sin, Suffering, Hope, and the True Way"; "The Eight Octavo Note-books"; "Letter to His Father"; "Fragments from Note-books and Loose Pages"; "Paralipomena"; Notes (by Max Brod).
