Kafka at Rudolf Steiner's
No Customer Reviews
Fiction. Rosalind Palermo Stevenson's KAFKA AT RUDOLF STEINER'S is a work of short fiction that explores two factual incidents in Franz Kafka's life. The first is Kafka's visit to the mystical philosopher, Rudolf Steiner, at the time that Steiner was in Prague delivering a series of lectures on the subject of "An Occult Physiology." The second is Kafka's platonic and highly idealized love affair with a young Italian girl during his ten-day stay at the von Hartungen Sanatorium in Riva. In reinventing these two incidents, Palermo Stevenson juxtaposes the real and the imagined, connecting them with Kafka's bleakly self-reflective vision of his life and the foreshadowing in his work of a coming evil that could not be held back. The result is a poetic prose narrative that is deeply interior and at the same time darkly historical.
