Book summary:
"Als Gregor Samsa eines Morgens aus unruhigen Träumen erwachte, fand er sich in seinem Bett zu einem ungeheueren Ungeziefer verwandelt".

Welch ein Satz! Ich erinnere mich, ihn in den 60er Jahren zum ersten Mal gelesen zu haben. Kafka galt in unserer Clique eine Zeitlang als jemand, den man gelesen haben mußte, um mitreden zu können. Verstanden habe ich damals eigentlich nichts. Oder fast nichts. Nur, daß etwas Ungeheuerliches geschehen war. In diesem Buch und mit mir.
Da erwacht also dieser Gregor, ein junger Handlungsreisender, der unter seinem Beruf und der Lieblosigkeit seiner Umwelt leidet, eines Morgens als riesiges Insekt. Zur Arbeit zu gehen, macht in seinem Zustand wenig Sinn. Schon taucht der erboste Prokurist auf und verlangt wütend eine Erklärung für Gregors Fernbleiben. Diese Szene, in der Gregor hinter verschlossener Tür sein Verhalten entschuldigt, seinen Käferkörper zur Tür quält und sich schließlich zu erkennen gibt, ist so haarsträubend kafkaesk, daß spätestens jetzt dieser Begriff jedem einleuchten dürfte. Gregors Familie ist angewidert, läßt den Sohn aber bei sich wohnen, bis schließlich -- nun, Sie werden es erfahren.
Keine Erklärung, nur dieser Hilfeschrei! Solche Radikalität war neu in der Literatur. Deutungen gab es viele. Gregor, wie Kafka, ein schwacher Mensch, der Tag für Tag mitansehen muß, wie diese Welt mit Schwachen umgeht, droht daran zugrundezugehen und vollzieht Die Verwandlung. Das ist seine "Rettung".
Im Jahre 1912 geschrieben, wurde Die Verwandlung noch zu Kafkas Lebzeiten veröffentlicht. Ein literarisches Jahrhundertereignis. Wie nachhaltig die Wirkung noch heute ist, läßt sich am Werk solcher Regiegrößen wie David Lynch und Polanski, um nur einige zu nennen, ablesen. --Ravi Unger [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Faust'
Book summary:
Goethe's Faust is a classic of European literature. Based on the fable of the man who traded his soul for superhuman powers and knowledge, it became the life's work of Germany's greatest poet. Beginning with an intriguing wager between God and Satan, it charts the life of a deeply flawed individual, his struggle against the nihilism of his diabolical companion Mephistopheles. Part One presents Faust's pact with the Devil and the harrowing tragedy of his love affair with the young Gretchen. Part Two shows Faust's experience in the world of public affairs, including his encounter with Helen of Troy, the emblem of classical beauty and culture. The whole is a symbolic and panoramic commentary on the human condition and on modern European history and civilisation. This new translation of both parts of Faust preserves the poetic character of the original, its tragic pathos and hilarious comedy. In addition, John Williams has translated the Urfaust, a fascinating glimpse into the young Goethe's imagination, and a selection from the draft scenarios for the Walpurgis Night witches' sabbath - material so ribald and blasphemous that Goethe did not dare publish it.

Book summary:
As much poem as it is play, Goethe's Faust is the spiritual quest of a soul determined to explore the very nature of Reality, a revolutionary work that refuses to accept limitations, but, like Romanticism itself, embraces all, the Natural World of everyday life, as well as the Great World of universal experience, the macrocosm as well as the microcosm. The Faust character, the Faustian soul, has become a universal concern. As multifarious as Hamlet and as mythic as Oedipus, he takes us on a journey to the depths and heights of experience and leaves us not the person we were before we met him. It is in Part One of Goethe's masterpiece that we discover Faust as the hero in whose being two contradictory forces collide. He is self-alienated man struggling to expand beyond the limitations of intellect and the known world, desperate to achieve a state, indeed mystical, where the opposites of Knowledge and Sensuality are One. Part One of Faust records that attempt in the context of earthly existence. Goethe's Faust has rightly been called the most audacious work in Western Civilization. [via]

Book summary:
Perhaps some apology ought to be given to English scholars, that is, those who do not know German, (to those, at least, who do not know what sort of a thing Faust is in the original,) for offering another translation to the public, of a poem which has been already translated, not only in a literal prose form, but also, twenty or thirty times, in metre, and sometimes with great spirit, beauty, and power.
The author of the present version, then, has no knowledge that a rendering of this wonderful poem into the exact and ever-changing metre of the original has, until now, been so much as attempted. To name only one defect, the very best versions which he has seen neglect to follow the exquisite artist in the evidently planned and orderly intermixing of male and female rhymes, i.e. rhymes which fall on the last syllable and those which fall on the last but one. Now, every careful student of the versification of Faust must feel and see that Goethe did not intersperse the one kind of rhyme with the other, at random, as those translators do; who, also, give the female rhyme (on which the vivacity of dialogue and description often so much depends,) in so small a proportion.

Book summary:
Randall Jarrell's translation of Goethe's classic, illustrated with extraordinary new drawings by Peter Sis

Randall Jarrell's translation of Faust is one of his most important achievements. In 1957 he inscribed Goethe's motto on the first page of his notebook: "Ohne Hast aber ohne Rast" ("Without haste but without rest"), and from then until his death in 1965 he worked on the masterpiece of his "own favorite daemon, dear good great Goethe." His intent was to make the German poetry free, unrhymed poetry in English. He all but finished the job before he died, and the few lines that remained untouched--Gretchen's Spinning Song--were rendered into English by Robert Lowell.

This elegant new edition features numerous beautiful line drawings by the renowned Czech artist, Peter Sis, author of the award-winning books The Starry Messenger and Tibet: Through the Red Box.

Book summary:
Goethe's masterpiece and perhaps the greatest work in German literature, "Faust" has made the legendary German alchemist one of the central myths of the Western world. Here indeed is a monumental Faust, an audacious man boldly wagering with the devil, Mephistopheles, that no magic, sensuality, experience or knowledge can lead him to a moment he would wish to last forever. Here, in "Faust," "Part 1," the tremendous versatility of Goethe's genius creates some of the most beautiful passages in literature. Here too we experience Goethe's characteristic humor, the excitement and eroticism of the witches' Walpurgis Night, and the moving emotion of Gretchen's tragic fate.
This newly revised edition, which offers Peter Salm's wonderfully readable translation as well as the original German on facing pages, brings us "Faust" in a vital, rhythmic American idiom that carefully preserves the grandeur, integrity, and poetic immediacy of Goethe's words. [via]

Book summary:
Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis climaxes in the very first line--the protagonist has indeed been transformed. The critical questions lie in the interpretation of the transformation. Kafka has been said to have offered everything from a psychological parable of Oedipal struggle to a caricature of psychological readings.
The title, Franz Kafkas The Metamorphosis, part of Chelsea House Publishers Modern Critical Interpretations series, presents the most important 20th-century criticism on Franz Kafkas The Metamorphosis through extracts of critical essays by well-known literary critics. This collection of criticism also features a short biography on Franz Kafka, a chronology of the authors life, and an introductory essay written by Harold Bloom, Sterling Professor of the Humanities, Yale University.

Book summary:
Goethe said that all his works were "one long confession," and certainly into Faust, this greatest masterwork of German literature, on which he worked sixty years, he welded his own search for meaning of existence and of the soul.
From the wager between God and Mephistopheles and the pact Faust makes with the latterthat this genial, urbane devil could have his soul if ever Faust became satisfied with any experience or knowledge Mephistopheles could show himthe drama unfolds in scenes that are human and compelling, that hold the reader by their despair and ecstasy, their tender love, passionate desire and wisdom, but also by their gaiety, humor, and irony. As Faust proceeds with his devilish guide, it is his striving for understanding that becomes important, not the attainment, and in fact this is what saves him in the end.

Part I of Faust, which Goethe published twenty-four years before its sequel, deals with Faust's journey through the everyday world and his love for Gretchen. It is made especially memorable in this translation, which Victor Lange, Chairman of the Department of German at Princeton, has called "certainly the most usable and most appealing Faust translation in English. It is modern without losing the dignity of the original and is perhaps the only translation that conveys something of the freshness and poetic vitality of Goethe's own speech." [via]

Book summary:
The Iliad (Ancient Greek ?????, Ilias) is, together with the Odyssey, one of two ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer, a supposedly blind Ionian poet. The epics are considered by most modern scholars to be the oldest literature in the Greek language. The Iliad concerns events during the tenth and final year in the siege of the city of Ilion, or Troy, by the Greeks. The Odyssey (Greek: ????????, Odusseia)is commonly dated circa 800 to 600 BC. The poem is, in part, a sequel to Homer's Iliad and mainly concerns the events that befall the Greek hero Odysseus (or Ulysses) in his long journeys after the fall of Troy and when he at last returns to his native land of Ithaca.

Book summary:
A Major New Translation

For more than two centuries the very title of this book has evoked the sensitivity of youth, the suffering of the artist, the idea of a hero too full of love to live. When it was first published in Germany, in 1774, The Sorrows of Young Werther created a sensation. Banned and condemned but embracedespecially by the youngit has continued to captivate.

Now Burton Pikes startlingly new translation expresses as never before all the anguish, ideas, and ardor of this seminal, iconic novel. And his Introduction reveals both Goethes inspirations and his influenceon works ranging from Madame Bovary to Frankenstein and beyond.

Here is the classic story of Werther, a young man seeking the infinite in an art he cannot master and a woman he cannot havethe prototype of the Romantic hero in a work that anticipated the Romantic Age. Here is a bold new look at a masterpiece that has changed lives and, like its beloved hero, will never grow old. [via]

Book summary:
A terrifying psychological trip into the life of one Joseph K., an ordinary man who wakes up one day to find himself accused of a crime he did not commit, a crime whose nature is never revealed to him. Once arrested, he is released, but must report to court on a regular basis--an event that proves maddening, as nothing is ever resolved. As he grows more uncertain of his fate, his personal life--including work at a bank and his relations with his landlady and a young woman who lives next door--becomes increasingly unpredictable. As K. tries to gain control, he succeeds only in accelerating his own excruciating downward spiral. [via]

This brilliant writer knew how to create a nightmare world where things happen without any explanation, where the characters fight against a fate which they do´nt understand, where there are effects without any apparent cause and where all happens without any explanation, but even so, it is impossible to escape from the fascination of the plot..

Book summary:
Klappentext:
Goethe selbst hat die bündigste Inhaltsangabe zu seinem >Werther< gegeben: »Eine Geschichte (...), darin ich einen jungen Menschen darstelle, der (...) sich in schwärmende Träume verliert, sich durch Spekulation untergräbt, bis er zuletzt durch dazutretende unglückliche Leidenschaften, besonders eine endlose Liebe zerrüttet, sich eine Kugel vor den Kopf schießt.«

Nonkonformismus als Rebellion der Gefühle - diese Botschaft des berühmten Briefromans, der innerhalb der deutschen Literatur den Beginn der modernen Prosa markiert, ist heute so aktuell wie vor 200 Jahren und gilt als Schlüsselwerk des Sturm und Drang. Er thematisiert den unüberbrückbaren Zwiespalt zwischen Geist und Natur, zwischen Ich und Gesellschaft, den der sensible Bürgersohn Werther empfindet und an dem er zerbricht. Bei seinen Zeitgenossen wurde Goethes Roman äußerst kontrovers diskutiert, da er darin mit den damaligen bürgerlichen Wertvorstellungen brach und somit bei den Kritikern eine Welle der Entrüstung auslöste.
»Es ist ein Meisterwerk, worin hinreißendes Gefühl und frühreifer Kunstverstand eine fast einmalige Mischung eingehen. Jugend und Genie sind sein Gegenstand, und aus Jugend und Genie ist es selbst geboren.« Thomas Mann

Künstlerinformation:
Johann Wolfgang Goethe (geadelt 1782) wurde am 28. August 1749 in Frankfurt am Main geboren und starb am 22. März 1832 in Weimar. Sein Werk prägte die Epochen des »Sturm und Drang« und der »deutschen Klassik«. Es umfasst sämtliche literarischen Gattungen, dazu autobiographische Schriften und naturwissenschaftliche Studien. Goethe stand in regem Kontakt zu allen geistigen Größen seiner Zeit und seine Wirkung auf die Literatur ist bis heute ungebrochen. Nicht nur im eigenen Land gilt er als größter Dichter der Deutschen.
