Only a few stories and miniatures of Franz Kafka's (1883–1924) work appeared during the author's lifetime. However, Kafka, who earned his living as an insurance agent, was constantly involved in writing in addition to his main job, and through his posthumously published work he has earned the title of one of the most outstanding writers of the 20th century.
The short prose collection "A Report to the Academy" (1962), the first introduction to Kafka's work in Estonia at the time, contains several of Kafka's best-known texts, such as "Metamorphosis", "A Report to an Academy", "The Emperor's Message" and "Before the Law", and whose timeliness and relevance will still make you think today. It is no wonder that the motifs found in these terribly inevitable stories may be familiar to those reading Kafka for the first time.
At the end of the book, the reader will find an email chain discussion "Our Kafkaing," initiated by Hasso Krull, in which Maarja Kangro, Mart Kangur, Peeter Laurits and Peeter Sauter will also appear.
In the Loomingu Raamatukogu, Franz Kafka's work has also been published as "The Trial" translated by August Sang (1966, no. 40–43), "At Night", translated by Mati Sirkel (1983, no. 27), "Letters to Milena", translated by Tiiu Relve (1996, no. 27–30), and “Letter to Father”, translated by Krista Läänemets (1997, no. 11). - translation of the Estonian language synopsis
"Y aprendí, señores míos. ¡Ah, sí, cuando hay que aprender se aprende; se aprende cuando se trata de encontrar una salida! ¡Se aprende sin piedad! Se vigila uno a sí mismo con el látigo, lacerándose a la menor resistencia. "
