Abandoned Fragments

Abandoned Fragments Synopsis

Collecting all the texts from Franz Kafka's literary remains that originated in the period up until Autumn 1917, plus the material that passed into the published Diaries. These short story drafts, dreams, dialogues and other shards of recorded imagination are published here in strict adherence to Kafka's handwritten drafts, not only in the original form of the text, but also in their raw handwritten arrangements. Each piece is preserved in its original context, including the various different attempts that indicate the way towards a work in progress.
