  Gracchus the Hunter travels to Iran

5 Feb 2012 14:16
Kamel Rouzdar has converted Franz Kafka's "Gracchus the Hunter" into Persian.
IBNA: The Hunter Gracchus (Der Jäger Gracchus) is a short story written by Franz Kafka. The story presents a death boat carrying the long dead Hunter Gracchus as it arrives at a port. The Burgomaster of Riva enters the boat and inside he meets Gracchus who gives him an account of his death while hunting and how he is destined to wander aimlessly and eternally over the seas. An additional fragment presents an extended dialogue between Gracchus and an unnamed interviewer, supposedly the same Burgomaster. 

Written in the first half of 1917, the story was published posthumously in 1931 in Berlin. 

Franz Kafka (born in 1883) was a culturally influential German-language author of short stories and novels. Contemporary critics and academics, including Vladimir Nabokov, regard Kafka as one of the best writers of the 20th century. The term "Kafkaesque" has become part of the English language. 

Kafka was born to middle class German-speaking Jewish parents in Prague, Bohemia, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The house in which he was born, on the Old Town Square next to Prague's Church of St Nicholas, now contains a permanent exhibition devoted to the author. 

Most of Kafka's writing, including the large body of his unfinished work, was published posthumously. 

Franz Kafka's "Gracchus the Hunter" is converted into Persian by Kamel Rouzdar and released in 72 pages by Chaphakhsh Publications.
