Zurau Aphorisms

Book • 2011
Written between September 1917 and April 1918 while Kafka was staying in the Bohemian village of Zürau, these aphorisms are Kafka's most direct explorations of theological and philosophical issues.

They were published posthumously by his friend Max Brod in 1931 under the title 'Betrachtungen über Sünde, Hoffnung, Leid und den wahren Weg' (Reflections on Sin, Hope, Suffering, and the True Way).

The aphorisms are characterized by their concise and enigmatic nature, often presenting complex ideas through imagery and parables.
