Content: Il teatro yiddish è una fiorente anche se breve civiltà teatrale fiorita tra l’Otto e il Novecento, che ha accompagnato milioni di ebrei dell’Europa centrale e orientale nelle nuove dislocazioni in tutto il mondo. Era un popolo in fuga da persecuzioni e miseria, alla ricerca di benessere e felicità, un popolo che si chiedeva se e come fosse possibile conciliare tradizioni e valori millenari con la modernità. Il teatro yiddish si è sviluppato in dialogo con l’operetta, il melodramma e il teatro borghese del tempo, creando proprie forme del tutto originali, soprattutto il cosiddetto grottesco yiddish. Popolare e sperimentale, attraversato dalla musica e dal canto, soprattutto espressione di grandi attrici e attori che ispiravano i drammaturghi e si confrontavano spregiudicatamente con i grandi autori del passato, il teatro yiddish ha poi cessato di esistere soltanto in apparenza, perché - come qui si dimostra - ha irradiato con le proprie invenzioni recitative, drammaturgiche e registiche il teatro e il cinema di oggi nelle sue migliori espressioni sia popolari che d’avanguardia.

Content: Franz Kafka: The Office Writings brings together, for the first time in English, Kafka's most interesting professional writings, composed during his years as a high-ranking lawyer with the largest Workmen's Accident Insurance Institute in the Czech Lands of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Franz Kafka (1883-1924) is commonly recognized as the greatest German prose writer of the twentieth century. It is less well known that he had an established legal career. Kafka's briefs reveal him to be a canny bureaucrat, sharp litigator, and innovative thinker on the social, political, and legal issues of his time. His official preoccupations inspired many of the themes and strategies of the novels and stories he wrote at night.These documents include articles on workmen's compensation and workplace safety; appeals for the founding of a psychiatric hospital for shell-shocked veterans; and letters arguing relentlessly for a salary adequate to his merit. In adjudicating disputes, promoting legislative programs, and investigating workplace sites, Kafka's writings teem with details about the bureaucracy and technology of his day, such as spa elevators in Marienbad, the challenge of the automobile, and the perils of excavating in quarries while drunk. Beautifully translated, with valuable commentary by two of the world's leading Kafka scholars and one of America's most eminent civil rights lawyers, the documents cast rich light on the man and the writer and offer new insights to lovers of Kafka's novels and stories.

Content: The Trial (German: Der Process) is a novel by Franz Kafka about a character named Josef K., who awakens one morning and, for reasons never revealed, is arrested and prosecuted for an unspecified crime. According to Kafka's friend Max Brod, the author never finished the novel and wrote in his will that it was to be destroyed. After his death, Brod went against Kafka's wishes and edited The Trial into what he felt was a coherent novel and had it published in 1925.

Content: Vite parallele, quelle dei due grandi attori Solomon Michoels e Veniamin Zuskin, immerse nella speranza suscitata da un regime che per la prima volta nella storia riconosceva parità di diritti agli ebrei. Lo stato sovietico attribuiva al lavoro culturale e artistico un ruolo fondamentale e gli ebrei progressisti contavano su questo presupposto anche per emanciparsi dal conservatorismo che caratterizzava gran parte della loro tradizione. Per quei giovani, moderni e formati in ambienti fortemente permeati dallo “spirito della musica”, l’arte e il teatro si incontravano con le istanze della Rivoluzione d’Ottobre. Purtroppo l’utopia defluì nel giro di pochi anni in una violenta reazione opposta, destinata a seppellire sotto la pesante cappa del realismo socialista il critico, gioioso e trascendente grottesco del teatro yiddish, nonché provocando uno scontro che volse in tragedia e si concluse con la morte, l’esilio e il silenzio di quasi tutti gli interpreti russi della cultura yiddish. I due protagonisti di questo libro avevano scelto il teatro come ricerca della verità e ne subirono le amare conseguenze.

Content: K. kept feeling that he had lost himself, or was further away in a strange land than anyone had ever been before'A remote village covered almost permanently in snow and dominated by a castle and its staff of dictatorial, sexually predatory bureaucrats - this is the setting for Kafka's story about a man seeking both acceptance in the village and access to the castle. Kafka breaks new ground in evoking a dense village community fraught with tensions, and recounting an often poignant, occasionally farcical love-affair. He also explores the relation between the individual and power, and asks why t

Content: When Gregor Samsa woke one morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed into some kind of monstrous vermin.'With a bewildering blend of the everyday and the fantastical, Kafka thus begins his most famous short story, The Metamorphosis. A commercial traveller is unexpectedly freed from his dreary job by his inexplicable transformation into an insect, which drastically alters his relationship with his family. Kafka considered publishing it with two of the stories included here in a volume to be called Punishments. The Judgement also concerns family tensions, when a power strugglebetw
