Description

Franz Kafka. Das Schloss. Munich: Kurt Wolff Verlag, [1926].

8vo. Publisher's blue cloth, red and white printed paper labels to spine and front board.

FIRST EDITION of Kafka's posthumously published novel. Written in 1922, Das Schloss (The Castle) remained unpublished at the time of the author's death in 1924. The manuscript, along with those of his other unfinished works, was entrusted to Max Brod, Kafka's close friend and literary executor, who famously disregarded the author's instructions to destroy them. Acting as editor, Brod prepared the text for publication, which appeared in 1926, issued by Kurt Wolff Verlag.

Condition: Spine lightly sunned and spine label lightly soiled; spine a bit leaned; text lightly browned with scattered pale soiling.
