Paperback. Zustand: New. This volume contains even plays, written between 1906 and 1926, which demonstrate the basic forms, tenets and preoccupations of German Expressionist drama, which has been described as the forerunner of Absurdist theatre and is characterized by both visual and verbal violence. These plays, taken together, offer an excellent introduction to the entire movement. Kokoschka's 'Murderer; Hope of Womankind', for example, has that strong ritualistic quality which characterizes so many other Expressionist writings, and Stramm's terrifying 'Awakening' recalls the threatening absurdities of Ionesco's theatre. These plays, with their visionary elements and their timeless quality, speak as clearly to audiences today as they did at the time of their creation.

"This important new collection from the Kafka manuscripts housed in the Schocken Library at Jerusalem, under the editorship of Max Brod, contains at least two pieces of major interest. 'Wedding Preparations,' the title story, was never completed, but it significant in showing Kafka at the outset of his literary career, already a master of language, but still uncertain how best to handle his material. . Even more important, because fundamental to any understanding of Kafka, is the 'Letter to My [sic] Father,' printed in full for the first time. Written at the age of 36, it can surely be called unique in world literature, a classic example of the complex relationship between artist son and businessman father. This remarkable document, of which hitherto only tantalising fragments have appeared in English, together with the recently published 'Letters to Milena,' throws new light on the inner workings of Kafka's fantastic mind. In addition, a large number of short pieces, stories and fragments from the notebooks appear for the first time, and a few (newly translated) which were originally printed in 'The Great Wall of China.'" Contents: "Wedding Preparations in the Country"; "Reflections on Sin, Suffering, Hope, and the True Way"; "The Eight Octavo Note-books"; "Letter to His Father"; "Fragments from Note-books and Loose Pages"; "Paralipomena"; Notes (by Max Brod).
