Letter to Father

"Dear father,

You once asked me recently why I claimed to be afraid of you. As is usually the case, I could find no answer, partly because of this very fear of you, partly because it required more details to justify this fear than I could muster in conversation..."

Franz Kafka met and became engaged to a girl named Julie Wohryzek in Schelesen, where he went to rest in 1919. The Letter to the Father, which he wrote in the same year, is the author's response to his father, Hermann Kafka, who opposed this engagement. This letter, which Kafka wrote not for the purpose of publishing but to express his feelings and thoughts about his father, but which he never sent, is of great importance in terms of both clarifying Kafka's biography and containing clues to some of his themes. We are publishing the Letter to the Father, which was brought to light by Max Brod, who ensured that all Kafka's works survived to the present day, and made room among the author's collected works, with detailed notes informing the reader, with Cemal Ener's translation.
