Diaries, 1910-1923
Diaries, 1910-1923 | Franz Kafka
7 posts | 3 read | 1 reading | 6 to read
These diaries cover the years 1910 to 1923, the year before Kafkas death at the age of forty. They provide a penetrating look into life in Prague and into Kafkas accounts of his dreams, his feelings for the father he worshipped and the woman he could not bring himself to marry, his sense of guilt, and his feelings of being an outcast. They offer an account of a life of almost unbearable intensity. From the Trade Paperback edition.

My job is unbearable to me because it conflicts with my only desire and my only calling, which is literature. Since I am nothing but literature and can and want to be nothing else, my job will never take possession of me, it may, however, shatter me completely, and this is by no means a remote possibility.

People label themselves with all sorts of adjectives. I can only pronounce myself as 'nauseatingly miserable beyond repair'.

April 27. Incapable of living with people, of speaking. Complete immersion in myself, thinking of myself. Apathetic, witless, fearful. I have nothing to say to anyone - never.

"...and those who insist on quiet are the best." A perfect text for vacation reading at a hideaway lodge. Also, so many people with books here. ❤️
