Written in November 1919, "Lettera al padre" (Letter to His Father) is one of Franz Kafka's most intimate and revealing works. In this text, which never reached its intended recipient, the author provides a lucid and heartbreaking portrait of his own nature, marked by a profound sense of guilt and a constant search for validation. Through prose charged with emotional impact, Kafka explores the conflict with a father figure who embodies absolute authority, representing a practical and utilitarian world from which the writer feels perpetually excluded.
This edition, published by Feltrinelli, includes an afterword by Georges Bataille that delves into the complex relationship between the author and his father. The work functions not only as a personal confession but also as a fundamental reflection on the literary vocation and the meaning of life, establishing itself as an essential piece of 20th-century literature.
