Descrizione del libro

Prepared for publication by Martin Swales and Siegbert Prawer after Roy Pascal's death, this book is more than simply one further addition to the bewildering corpus of secondary literature on Kafka. For it is a study which cuts through previous critical controversies by focusing on matters of literary and stylistic technique.
