Cloth. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Editions. First editions in 2 volumes. 345; 343 pp. Publisher's blue cloth in printed dust wrappers. Jackets darkened to edges with a touch of foxing. Occasional foxing, primarily to pages at start and end of books (worst shown). Solid bindings. The Diaries comprise Kafka's commonplace book for everyday jottings, and his workbook, with short stories and beginnings of them, allowing the reader an insight into his life and work. Max Brod was Kafka's friend and literary executor, who wrote Kafka's biography and used the Diaries as evidence for his main thesis that it was not Kafka's relationship with his father that drove him to his fatal neurosis, but the dread and exhaustion of doing a dissatisfying office job that led him to an untimely death. Never intended for publication, the first volume is the first publication of the complete Diaries of Franz Kafka in any language. A set of solid first edition copies in their original dustjackets. 8vo.
