Nahum Norbert Glatzer fu uno studioso letterario ebraico il cui lavoro si addentrò nelle complessità del pensiero e della filosofia ebraica. Possedeva una profonda comprensione e un talento per interpretare testi ebraici fondamentali e le vite di figure influenti all'interno della tradizione. I contributi di Glatzer furono fondamentali per rendere queste idee complesse accessibili a un pubblico più ampio, in particolare attraverso il suo lavoro editoriale e le antologie curate. La sua erudizione illumina un ricco patrimonio spirituale e intellettuale, offrendo ai lettori spunti accattivanti sul panorama intellettuale ebraico.

(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)Franz Kafka’s imagination so far outstripped the forms and conventions of the literary tradition he inherited that he was forced to turn that tradition inside out in order to tell his splendid, mysterious tales. Scrupulously naturalistic on the surface, uncanny in their depths, these stories represent the achieved art of a modern master who had the gift of making our problematic spiritual life palpable and real.This edition of his stories includes all his available shorter fiction in a collection edited, arranged, and introduced by Gabriel Josipovici in ways that bring out the writer’s extraordinary range and intensity of vision.Translated by Willa and Edwin Muir
