Kafka's Short Stories is a collection of short works by Kafka. It is organized into four sections: works published during Kafka's lifetime, works published sporadically in literary journals, works published after Kafka's death, and Allegories and Paradoxes. This collection does not include the notes, some critical writings, and brief writings of Franz Kafka. Some of these writings were published by Kafka during his lifetime, and some were compiled and published after Kafka's death by his close friend and executor, Max Brod. Kafka had willed that his unpublished writings be burned. Brod refused to carry out this request.
Franz Kafka, born July 3, 1883 in Prague, is one of the greatest German-language writers of the 20th century. Although he spoke Czech more or less perfectly, he learned German as his first language, and his works, except for a few letters he wrote in Czech to Milena Jenská, are in German. Kafka graduated in 1901 and then studied chemistry at Charles University in Prague, but after two weeks he changed his major and studied law, graduating with a doctorate in law in 1906. At the end of his first year at university, Kafka met Max Brod, who, along with Felix Welch, remained his closest friends for the rest of his life. He contracted tuberculosis in 1917. In 1923, to get away from his family and concentrate more on writing, he moved to Berlin for a short time. However, Kafka's tuberculosis worsened and he returned to Prague, then went to a sanatorium in Vienna for treatment, where he died on June 3, 1924. Kafka published only a few short stories during his lifetime, and all his novels remained unfinished. He had instructed his friend Max Brod to destroy all his works after his death, but Brod did not do so and instead printed all of his writings.
Ali Asghar Haddad was born on March 24, 1941, in the Rah-e-Koshk neighborhood of Qazvin. He studied in Qazvin until his early years of high school, and after completing the eighth grade of high school, he immigrated to Tehran with his family. After receiving his diploma and completing his military service, he went to Germany and obtained a master's degree in sociology in West Berlin. In 1970, he returned to Iran and began teaching German and translating German-language literary works.
Most of the works that Haddad translated into Persian are among the outstanding works of German-language literature. He has translated all of Kafka's works (The Trial, The Palace, America, short stories) directly from German into Persian, and in addition, he has translated Buddenbrooks, Stiller, The Game at Dawn and The Dream, The Dead Stay Young, and...
