Taking this biographical peculiarity as a starting point, Kafka‘s Travels elegantly re-reads Kafka‘s major works ( Amerika , The Trial , The Castle ) through the lens of fin-de siecle travel culture. Making use of previously unexplored literary and cultural materials - travel diaries, train schedules, tour guides, adventure novels - Zilcosky argues that Kafka‘s uniquely modern metaphorics of alienation emerges out of the author‘s complex encounter with the utopian travel discourses of his day. | | 出版日期 | Book 2003 | | 关键词 | America; argue; colonialism; culture; death; discourse; Franz Kafka; metaphor; novel; poet; utopia; writing | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-137-07637-3 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4039-6767-1 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-07637-3 | | copyright | Palgrave Macmillan, a division of Nature America Inc. 2003 |
