Abstract

The study examines and compares early Kafka translations within the context of these three linguistic and cultural-literary circles, as well as the various ways the first translators came to translate Kafka's prose works, the context of their personal relations (or lack thereof) with Kafka, the specific nature of their translations, the circumstances surrounding their publication and the influence on Kafka's work and subsequent reception.
