Vitalis Un médico rural (Edición de Praga)

Doctor, let me die...

The Golden Alley in the winter of war 1916/17: For several months, Kafka retreats into the silence of house number 22. By the light of the oil lamp, the poet brings the haunting vision of A Country Doctor to paper. Only the scratching of his pen can be heard as he sends the worried doctor out into the dark winter night to attend to a dying man. The fourteen short stories of the country doctor are among Kafka's most beautiful and harrowing creations. In this edition, which is based on the first publication, not only are the brilliant tales printed, but their history of creation is also traced. Rating: Especially worth reading.

With an illustrated accompanying text on the creation and impact of the work by Harald Salfellner.
