What is The Diaries of Franz Kafka, 1910-1923 (The Schocken Kafka Library) about?
These diaries cover the years 1910 to 1923, the year before Franz Kafka’s death at the age of forty. They provide a penetrating look into life in Prague and into Kafka’s accounts of his dreams, his feelings for the father he worshipped, the woman he could not bring himself to marry, his sense of guilt, and his feelings of being an outcast.
