What are Kafka's stories about? Are they dreams? Allegories? Symbols? Things that happen every day? But where & when? Countless answers have been offered, but the question still arouses feelings of acute uncertainty. Many solutions have been proposed, but the essential mystery remains intact. In this remarkable book, Roberto Calasso sets out not to dispel the mystery but to let it be illuminated by its own light. To that end, with his unique vision, imagination, & intellectual acumen, Calasso attempts to enter the flow, the tortuous movement, the physiology of the stories to discover what they are meant to signify & to delve into the most basic question along the way: Who is K.?

The culmination of the author's lifelong fascination with Kafka, K. is a book of significant literary importance, the fourth part in a work in progress of which the previous volumes are The Ruin of Kasch, The Marriage of Cadmus & Harmony, & Ka

Ka
£15.29
It is the essence of Roberto Calasso's particular genius to have evolved a unique way of reconstructing the imaginative heart of some of the world's greatest cultures. In The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony it was the ' Greekness' of classical culture; in Ka he gives us the ' Indianness' of the mind of India, but in an Indian way. He does not describe or explain this mental world: he regenerates it through its stories & customs.

Who is Ka? & who is the immense eagle who asks this question, filling the sky, an elephant & a giant turtle in his claws? How can he be the child of woman? Who are these tiny folk he eats? The first impact of Ka is one of tremendous strangeness, bewilderment, disorientation. Slowly, however, the strange becomes familiar &
- as Ka folds & enfolds the world of the Deva & the Seven Seers, of Siva, Brahma & Visnu, the wars of the Mahabharata, & finally the advent of the Buddha
- we are amazed at our own recognition. These stories lie so close to the grain of our own experience that they confirm, or for the first time articulate, our own deepest perceptions about our condition.

It is the essence of Roberto Calasso's particular genius to have evolved a unique way of reconstructing the imaginative heart of some of the world's greatest cultures.
