“Literature is pathetic.” So claims Eileen Myles in their provocative and robust introduction to Pathetic Literature (Grove Press, 2022), a breathtaking mishmash of pieces ranging from poems to theater scripts to prose to anything in between, all exploring the so-called “pathetic” or awkwardly-felt moments and revelations around which lives are both built and undone. An utterly unique collection composed by the award-winning poet and writer, a global anthology of pieces from lesser-known classics by luminaries like Franz Kafka, Samuel R. Delany, and Gwendolyn Brooks to up-and-coming writers that examine pathos and feeling, giving a well-timed rehab to the word “pathetic”.

This is the second episode in a series called THE SPIRIT-ERA & ITS AFTERMATHS in which I look at the way spiritual, technological, and occult flourishings at the turn of the 19th into 20th century are still with us today.In the second installment in the series, I talk with ALLAN JOHNSON Professor of English Literature at University of Surrey, meditation coach, and author of the excellent book, The Sacred Life of Modernist Literature: Immanence, Occultism, and the Making of the Modern WorldIn that book, Allan states: “The occult has always walked the perilous line between desiring a textual form while resisting the possibility that this form can ever be completely achieved.”One of my big frustrations with spiritual influencers is that most of them don't seem to have a good grasp of art, but particularly literature. They do something like this: they read literature that has magical CONTENT and create metaphors and analogies that - all-too conveniently - mirror the lessons of their own esoteric view. And they generally reach for the usual suspects: Tolkien, Le Guin, Coehlo, etc.But the location of esoteric strength in literature is less in the content and much more in its FORMS and STYLES. These forms were brought to us most prominently in modernist fiction - in James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Franz Kafka, and more. But also by poets like TS Elliot, Ezra Pound, and WB Yeats.In the works of modernist writers, the reader's involvement is demanded to complete the text. These are writers who initiate us as we read their works.This conversation with Allan offered the chance to explore ideas I'd been longing to talk about for years, I'm so excited to share them with you here.SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREONBuy Allan's book

Alessandra Iadicicco"La ballata dell'ultimo ospite"Peter HandkeGuanda Editorewww.guanda.itTraduzione di Alessandra Iadicicco.È un giorno tranquillo di tarda estate o di inizio autunno, e Gregor fa ritorno al suo paese natio. Ha affrontato un lungo viaggio, da un altro continente, ma non vede l'ora di passare una settimana di vacanza nella casa dei genitori: le partite a carte con il padre, le domande mute della madre, le confidenze della sorella. Si aspetta che tutto sia come è sempre stato, anche se ora la sorella ha un figlio, di cui lui sarà il padrino. Eppure Gregor porta con sé una notizia appena ricevuta e che non riesce a rivelare alla famiglia, il peso del lutto per la morte improvvisa del fratello minore. Viandante straniero, noto a tutti nel suo paese ma non riconosciuto da nessuno, Gregor cammina in questo paesaggio familiare e al contempo estraneo, lo osserva, rievoca i ricordi della sua infanzia, in un dialogo interiore in cui passato e presente si intrecciano. La ballata dell'ultimo ospite narra il silenzio di un ritorno solitario, privo di accoglienza, in un luogo dove il tempo ha ormai cambiato e consumato ogni cosa.Una storia salvifica per l'epoca misera segnata dalla sparizione della lingua e dalla connessione incessante... Si trovano in queste pagine belle immagini di smarrimento ma anche piccole utopie contemporanee.[Süddeutsche Zeitung]Peter Handke, nato a Griffen (Austria), nel 1942, è romanziere, drammaturgo e poeta. La casa editrice Guanda ha pubblicato Storie del dormiveglia, Falso movimento, Il peso del mondo, La storia della matita, Pomeriggio di uno scrittore, Epopea del baleno, Saggio sul luogo tranquillo, Saggio sul cercatore di funghi, Prima del calcio di rigore e L'ambulante. Nel 2009 gli è stato conferito il premio Franz Kafka e nel 2014 ­l'International Ibsen Award. Ha collaborato in varie occasioni con il regista Wim Wenders, fino a Il cielo sopra Berlino.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

This week, we examine two films shaped by the influence of Franz Kafka. The first, Kafka (1991), directed by Steven Soderbergh from a screenplay by Lem Dobbs, intertwines biographical details of Kafka's life with motifs drawn from his fiction. The second, Brazil (1985), directed by Terry Gilliam, is frequently cited as one of the most profoundly Kafkaesque films ever made.   Timestamps What we've been watching (00:00:26) – Eight Men Out, Entourage, The Sopranos, Project Almanac, Boss Level, Die My Love Kafka (00:27:06) Brazil (01:00:04) Coin toss (01:34:00)   Links Instagram - @callitfriendopodcast @munnywales @andyjayritchie   Letterboxd – @andycifpod @fat-tits mcmahon   Justwatch.com – streaming and rental links - https://www.justwatch.com

Descubre Cómo Entender de Verdad Un Trastorno de Ansiedad y Tomar Acción En Nuestro Curso Gratuito El Mapa de La Ansiedad: https://escuelaansiedad.com/Cursos/el-mapa-de-la-ansiedad ️ Descripción extendida del episodio – La Teoría de la Mente En este nuevo episodio de La Teoría de la Mente, te proponemos una reflexión profunda sobre las barreras internas que nos impiden avanzar. Inspirados por el poderoso cuento Ante la Ley de Franz Kafka, exploramos al "guardián" simbólico que muchas veces no está fuera… sino dentro de nosotros. Ese "guardián" tiene muchos nombres: autoexigencia, inseguridad, impostor, miedo, vergüenza… pero suele compartir una raíz común: el yo crítico. Esa voz interna que constantemente juzga, que te dice que no eres suficiente, que no estás listo, que aún no mereces lo que deseas. ¿Te has preguntado alguna vez…? ¿Quién es esa parte de ti que te frena? ¿Qué necesitas para sentirte válido, merecedor o "digno de entrar"? ¿Por qué, incluso con logros a tus espaldas, sientes que no perteneces o que estás "engañando a todos"? En este episodio analizamos cómo se forma el yo crítico y cómo puede tomar el control de tu vida. A menudo se origina en ambientes familiares exigentes, mensajes de invalidación en la infancia, o experiencias donde aprendimos que “valer” depende del rendimiento o la aprobación externa. ️ Pero no solo hablamos del problema: también te damos herramientas concretas para transformar esa relación interna: ✅ Terapia Narrativa: Aprende a externalizar el yo crítico, darle nombre, forma, y desarmar su historia. ✅ Autocompasión: Sustituye el juicio severo por una mirada amable hacia ti mismo. ✅ Terapia Cognitiva: Detecta creencias limitantes y reemplázalas por pensamientos constructivos. ✅ Trabajo con Partes (IFS): Conoce tus partes internas y aprende a dialogar con ellas para sanar desde dentro. Porque a veces, el "guardián" no está allí para destruirte… sino para protegerte de algo que una vez fue doloroso. Y comprender eso puede cambiarlo todo. Este episodio es una invitación a: ✨ Tomar las riendas de tu narrativa interna ✨ Dejar de esperar permisos externos ✨ Reconocer tu propio valor sin condiciones ✨ Caminar hacia una vida más libre y auténtica Si alguna vez te sentiste como un impostor, si te frena esa voz interna que siempre encuentra un defecto, o si estás esperando “ser suficiente” para dar el siguiente paso… este episodio es para ti. ️ ENLACES Y RECURSOS ÚTILES Nuestra escuela de ansiedad: www.escuelaansiedad.com Nuestro nuevo libro: www.elmapadelaansiedad.com Visita nuestra web: http://www.amadag.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Asociacion.Agorafobia/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amadag.psico/ ▶️ YouTube AMADAG TV: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC22fPGPhEhgiXCM7PGl68rw

Gabriel José de la Concordia García Márquez Nació el 6 de marzo de 1927 en Aracataca, Magdalena, Colombia. Su nombre refleja una tradición común en muchas familias latinoamericanas católicas, donde se incluyen nombres religiosos como “de la Concordia”. murió el 17 de abril de 2014 en Ciudad de México. fue un escritor, periodista y guionista colombiano, considerado uno de los más grandes autores en lengua española del siglo XX. Es especialmente conocido por ser uno de los principales exponentes del realismo mágico, un estilo literario que mezcla elementos fantásticos con la realidad cotidiana de América Latina. Cien años de soledad (1967), una novela que narra la historia de la familia Buendía en el mítico pueblo de Macondo. Esta obra es considerada una de las más importantes de la literatura universal. Premio Nobel de Literatura: Lo recibió en 1982, “por sus novelas e historias cortas, en las que lo fantástico y lo real se combinan en un mundo ricamente compuesto de imaginación”. Otras obras destacadas: El otoño del patriarca (1975), Crónica de una muerte anunciada (1981), El amor en los tiempos del cólera (1985), Del amor y otros demonios (1994), Memoria de mis putas tristes (2004), etc, Estilo: García Márquez fusiona la realidad social y política de América Latina con elementos mágicos, míticos o sobrenaturales, sin romper la lógica narrativa. Su estilo está profundamente influido por la tradición oral caribeña, el periodismo, y autores como William Faulkner y Franz Kafka. Periodismo: Antes y durante su carrera literaria fue un periodista muy activo. De hecho, consideraba el periodismo como “el mejor oficio del mundo”.

Vänner, bekanta eller totala främlingar. Resesällskap kan skifta, men hur vi betraktar dem kan förändra hela resandets natur, menar Henrik Nilsson. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Likt solrosor som vänder sig mot ljuset står resenärerna med sträckta huvuden under skärmen på flygplatsen. Blicken letar efter rätt avgång, och sedan försvinner vi åt olika håll. Om jag har en stund över går jag inte direkt till gaten, utan slår mig istället ned bland människor som väntar på ett helt annat flyg. Där njuter jag av att befinna mig i början av en resa som aldrig kommer att göras, på ett sätt som påminner om när jag var barn och drömde mig bort till avlägsna länder. Det händer att jag letar jag upp avgången till en stad som spelat en särskild roll i livet, som Lissabon eller Bukarest. Andra gånger väljer jag istället en destination som är helt okänd för mig. Ibland tar jag då fiktionen ett steg längre, och börjar småprata med någon intill mig om platsen dit jag egentligen inte ska: Har du hört hur vädret är i Tirana? Det ska bli skönt att komma tillbaka till Marseille!Innan förklädnaden faller återvänder jag till mitt riktiga liv. Men det korta mötet dröjer kvar, och väcker tankar om samtal och sällskap längs vägen. Att resa ensam eller tillsammans – det är ett av de första besluten som måste tas innan man ger sig av. Med ett resesällskap kan man dela intryck och skapa minnen att gemensamt återkomma till efter hemkomsten. När man reser på egen hand för man istället en dialog med sig själv; lägger ibland märke till andra saker, hamnar kanske i samspråk med andra människor.För det finns också en annan sorts resesällskap – människorna som man träffar under färdens gång. Dessa sammanträffanden kan vara korta och till synes oansenliga, men påminner om Hjalmars Gullbergs rader: ”Om i ödslig skog ångest dig betog, / kunde ett flyktigt möte vara befrielse nog … Byta ett ord eller två / gjorde det lätt att gå.” I andra änden av spektrumet finns bekantskaperna som förändrar livets gång, kanske början på en lång vänskap eller kärlek. Efteråt återkommer vi då till slumpens roll. Tänk om vi inte hade hamnat i samma tågkupé, eller fått bord långt ifrån varandra på restaurangen?Med tiden har möten och samtal under resans gång kommit att bli minst lika viktiga för mig som berömda katedraler och museer – just eftersom de inte kan förutses och inte står med i några guideböcker. Frågan är om man inte kan se sådana oväntade bekantskaper som de sista vita fläckarna i en värld som redan har kartlagts i minsta detalj.En som förstod värdet av tillfälliga resesällskap var Franz Kafka. I dagboken kan man läsa om den semester han åkte på mot slutet av sommaren 1911 med vännen Max Brod. Knappt har tågresan västerut börjat förrän en hatt ramlar ner från hyllan, vilket blir en förevändning för Kafka att tala med den flicka som senare dyker upp i inledningen till den oavslutade roman som de båda vännerna arbetade på efter resan. Så fort Kafka hamnar i en tågkupé skildrar han medresenärernas alla förehavanden och personligheter, och när han och Max Brod färdas till Zürich, Milano och Paris kommer de i kontakt med allt från en judisk guldsmed och grekisk läkare till en handelsresande i vykort och ett ungt kyssande italienskt par.Världslitteraturen rymmer också många fiktiva resesällskap. Vad vore Dante utan Vergilius? Och Don Quijotes äventyr utan hans vapendragare och resesällskap, den fattige bonden Sancho Panza, som med jordnära humor och ironi balanserar husbondens storslagna visioner? Nog hade det varit sorgligt om Don Quijote var ensam om att få se havet för första gången när de kommer till Barcelona. I slutet drabbas riddaren av svårmod och klarsyn. Tårarna Sancho Panza fäller vid hans dödsbädd påminner läsaren om att detta, bland mycket annat, är en roman om en mycket speciell vänskap. Och om att resa tillsammans.Resesällskapet kan också fylla berättartekniska funktioner i litteraturen, som ett sätt att öppna en intrig eller introducera romangestalter. Den ryska 1800-talsprosan vimlar av möten i tågkupéer eller på ångbåtar som hjälper handlingen på traven. I den indiska författaren Anita Nairs roman Kvinnor på ett tåg fungerar en nattlig resa från Bangalore till landets sydspets som en förevändning för sex olika kvinnor att berätta sina dramatiska livshistorier för varandra och läsaren.I reseskildringar finns två diametralt olika sätt att närma sig människor man möter längs vägen. Många författare använder sådana möten och samtal för att teckna ett större skeende; illustrera den politiska situationen i ett samhälle eller den kulturella egenarten hos ett land. Själv tilltalas jag av en annan, något mindre vanlig sorts reseskildring, där författaren avstår från att göra sina resesällskap till verktyg och istället låter dem framträda i sin egen rätt. Som i spanjoren Julio Llamazares bok Trás-os-Montes, där författaren under några dagar reser i den glesbefolkade portugisiska regionen med samma namn. På ett anspråkslöst sätt talar han med en äldre barberare i staden Bragança och fruktförsäljare vid landsvägen. Han överger sökandet efter huset där upptäckaren Ferdinand Magellan eventuellt föddes, och hamnar istället i samspråk med några brandmän som vilar i skuggan utanför stationen. Det enkla men känsligt tecknade mötet gör att de under en kort stund överskuggar betydelsen av sjöfararen som gjorde den första världsomseglingen för över fem hundra år sedan.Liksom romankonsten har resan dödförklarats många gånger. Den amerikanske författaren Paul Bowles menade att resan tynade bort samtidigt som ångfartygen försvann, och att snabbare transportmedel bara resulterade i en ytlig form av turism. I weekendresornas tidevarv, då vi regelbundet får ta del av listor över årets hetaste och mest överskattade resmål, kan det vara lockande att hålla med honom.Men även om resan som en väg till fördjupad förståelse av världen och det egna jaget är hotad, påminner författare som Julio Llamazares om att det aldrig är för sent att skärpa blicken på främmande platser och länder. Kanske skulle en renässans för att resa på djupet kunna gå genom en omvärdering av resesällskapet som fenomen. En sorts kopernikansk revolution, där destinationerna och sevärdheterna inte längre är det viktigaste – utan där medresenären som utan förvarning dyker upp längs vägen står i centrum. I så fall är en sådan renässans inom räckhåll för var och en av oss – bara några ord och en människa bort.Henrik Nilssonförfattare och essäist

Annemieke Bosman in gesprek met theatermaker en schrijver Vincent van der Valk. Van der Valk maakt samen met regisseur Jessie L'Herminez de voorstelling Het Proces, naar het gelijknamige beroemde roman van Franz Kafka, bij Toneelschuur Producties. In 1914 begon Kafka aan Het Proces, een roman die hij nooit voltooide. Josef K. wordt gearresteerd zonder reden en belandt in een absurd anti-verhaal: een tragikomische zoektocht naar schuld, onschuld en houvast. Ondanks zijn onafgemaakte vorm groeide het uit tot een van Kafka's meest invloedrijke werken. Het Proces is een tragikomische, speelse reis zonder eindbestemming. De acteurs zijn poortwachters naar een andere werkelijkheid. Met humor, muziek en vervreemding nemen zij je mee in Kafka's wereld, waar houvast telkens wegvalt. L'Herminez en Van der Valk maken van Kafka's klassieker een hedendaags verhaal over de illusie van controle en de vraag welke rol iemand zelf speelt in een leven dat van het ene op het andere moment drastisch lijkt te zijn veranderd.

Většina světa si Milenu Jesenskou pamatuje jako tu, které psal Franz Kafka dopisy. Byla však daleko víc než jen jeho dopisovou láskou. Byla svobodomyslnou, moderní, emancipovanou ženou a novinářkou. A k tomu všemu byl její život jako na houpačce.

Send us a textDietrich Smith jumped into the Playwright's Spotlight after the opening of his World Premiere adaptation of Franz Kafka's novel Amerika. We explore his background as the literary manager at the Open Fist Theatre Company and the trends he observed from submissions. We speak about establishing theme and whose story it is in a piece, mapping the journey, approaching adaptation, and the history of Kafka's Amerika. We delve into writing an ending to an incomplete work, cutting what you love, the length of plays in modern theatre, the politics of production, reversals, learning playwriting by doing, and the concept of no rules in theatre. We wrap our conversation up the benefits of having been a story editor, holding interest and learning from the greats and, finally, his dive into acting and becoming a playwright. It is a brilliant and insightful conversation I hope you all will enjoy as much as I did.

Franz Kafka escribió Carta al padre en 1919, pero nunca se la entregó. En esas páginas, una de las confesiones más intensas de la literatura moderna, le habla a un padre autoritario, omnipresente y temido. Le habla también al miedo, a la culpa y a la herida que define toda su obra. En este episodio exploramos qué hay detrás de esa carta: la estructura psicológica de Kafka, la figura paterna como símbolo de poder, y cómo el trauma personal se convierte en una forma de escritura. ¿Es posible escribir para liberarse de un padre? ¿O la literatura solo repite la herida? Un análisis entre la biografía, la filosofía y la psicología literaria de una de las cartas más brutales y reveladoras del siglo XX.

¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2025! Los lobos no lloran (Wolves Don't Cry) es un relato de hombres lobo del escritor norteamericano Bruce Elliott (1914-1973), publicado originalmente en la edición de abril de 1954 EN la revista The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, y luego reeditado en la antología de 1988: El monstruoso libro de los monstruos (The Monster Book Of Monsters). Análisis de: El Espejo Gótico https://elespejogotico.blogspot.com/2025/09/los-lobos-no-lloran-bruce-elliott.html Texto del relato extraído de: https://elespejogotico.blogspot.com/2025/09/los-lobos-no-lloran-bruce-elliott.html Musicas: - 01.

Hazlo con advoices.com/podcast/ivoox/352537 Los lobos no lloran, uno de los mejores cuentos de Bruce Elliott, presenta un enfoque original sobre el tema de la licantropía. De hecho, desarma y reconstruye esta leyenda de un modo asombroso. SPOILER El protagonista es un lobo que se transforma en humano. Al despertar en su jaula, descubre su nuevo cuerpo, y el personal del zoológico lo confunde con un loco o un borracho que entró a pasar la noche en la jaula, dejando escapar al lobo. Desconcertado, Lobo [así lo había llamado la gente del zoológico] descubre que no puede aullar, que su olfato se ha debilitado enormemente [para colmo, ahora su nariz está lejos del suelo] y puede ver colores que antes no percibía. Lobo es trasladado a un hospital psiquiátrico. Es encerrado en una celda [con barrotes, como su jaula en el zoológico] y obligado a diversas cuestiones que considera indignas: usar ropa, comer una papilla insípida en lugar de carne, caminar sobre sus patas traseras y seguir nuevas normas sociales. Sin embargo, lo peor de todo es que Lobo extraña a su hembra, su olor, y a sus cachorros. A pesar de su incomodidad, Lobo se adapta al nuevo entorno y aprende a comportarse como un humano, incluso adquiere cierto manejo de los extraños sonidos que emiten los bípedos y empieza a comunicarse con ellos. Lo más sorprendente es que aprende a llorar, algo que los lobos son incapaces de hacer. Al salir del hospital, Lobo asiste a un cine y ve una película de hombres lobo donde el protagonista examina un libro que describe cómo un ser humano puede convertirse en lobo a través de un ritual, que debe realizarse con un cinturón de piel humana. Bruce Elliott no lo menciona específicamente, pero se trata del libro de Sabine Baring-Gould de 1865: El libro de los hombres lobo (The Book of Were-Wolves). Lobo lleva a cabo el ritual con algunas modificaciones; por ejemplo, el cinturón es de piel de lobo, no humana, y recupera su forma original [ver: Atrapado en el cuerpo equivocado] Antes de eso, Lobo mantiene relaciones con una mujer humana y ella queda embarazada. Ya en su forma original, Lobo regresa al zoológico, de noche, y se echa junto a la jaula de su antigua compañera. Al amanecer, los empleados lo reconocen y lo hacen entrar en la jaula. Allí, un día, ve a una mujer que se acerca con un carrito de bebé. El niño es humano, pero tiene ojos extraños. Lobo imagina cómo el niño, su hijo humano [lo reconoce por su olor], algún día padecerá algo que, para el resto del mundo, incluso para él mismo, será una maldición: «Y el último pensamiento que tuvo al respecto fue de infinita lástima por su pequeño hijo, quien, en una noche de luna llena, se arrodillaría y se convertiría en un animal, para luego vagar en la oscuridad en busca de algo que jamás llegaría a comprender.» Los lobos no lloran de Bruce Elliott no solo invierte la leyenda del hombre lobo, sino que prescinde de todas las convenciones del género, encontrando en el proceso distintos puntos de enlace con la estructura original. Por ejemplo, el hijo humano de Lobo será un licántropo, y esto será un misterio para él. Nunca sabrá que su padre fue, en realidad, un lobo. También es interesante que el comportamiento de los licántropos se deba a la incomodidad física que experimenta un lobo que debe articular los movimientos de un cuerpo humano [ver: Razas y clanes de hombres lobo] Bruce Elliott no proporciona ninguna explicación sobre por qué Lobo se convierte en humano al principio. Como Gregor Samsa en La metamorfosis (Die Verwandlung) de Franz Kafka; no hay maldiciones ni infecciones detrás de la transformación [ver: Kafka y lo Kafkiano]. A falta de un origen es lícito pensar que, tal vez, Lobo fue anteriormente un humano, y vive inmerso en un ciclo de transformaciones. Es cierto, tiene compañera y cachorros, por lo cual ha sido animal durante bastante tiempo, pero también los tiene cuando luego es humano. Si bien hay algunos puntos en común, Lobo no es exactamente como Gregor Samsa; y ciertamente no pertenece a la tradición surrealista. Tampoco es una total inversión de convenciones sino una expansión. Por ejemplo, la escena en el cine hace referencia al rol tradicional del licántropo en las películas de terror, y el ritual posterior se vincula con la leyenda del nigromante que manipula fuerzas oscuras. Todo eso forma parte de este universo, pero el eje de la historia no es un humano que se convierte en lobo, sino un lobo, convertido en humano, que busca ser lobo otra vez [ver: Análisis psicológico del Hombre Lobo] Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

本期岛上主播：于是 当瑞典文学院在2025年10月9日念出克拉斯诺霍尔卡伊·拉斯洛的名字，这位常年徘徊在赔率榜的匈牙利作家终于迎来了全世界的关注。本期跳岛FM，我们邀请到了一位极为特殊的嘉宾——余泽民。他不仅是《撒旦探戈》等多部拉斯洛代表作的中文译者，更是与他相识三十多年的挚友。 这不是一次典型的文学访谈。我们没有急于进入书本，而是用一个多小时的时间，从1993年春夜的派对上，那个一身黑衣，眼睛浅蓝深邃如波斯猫，主动靠近他的异国长发男人讲起。余泽民回忆他们如何因李白结缘，如何在葡萄架下的童话小屋里一起生活，如何在北京的胡同里购买二锅头，又如何在日复一日的相处中被语言与想象的力量俘获。这些生动的细节，为我们勾勒出一个立体的拉斯洛，一个温柔、悲悯的灵魂。 想了解这位以艰涩闻名的文学大师，究竟可以从哪本书读起？他那些跨页不断、如同俄罗斯套娃般层层嵌套的长句背后，究竟承载着怎样的思想，又要如何翻译成中文？他的小说如何以寓言的方式回应东欧的政治变迁？为什么他说自己不需要电影，又与导演塔尔·贝拉有了持续数十年的传奇合作？作为中国人，我们又应该如何理解拉斯洛对中国的向往，理解他笔下的中国？为什么尽管他反复书写人类的劣根性，却并不是悲观主义者，而是一个“忧郁主义者”？ 【本期嘉宾】 余泽民：20世纪80年代末毕业于北京医科大学临床医学系，后考入中国音乐学院音乐学系攻读硕士学位，从事艺术心理学研究。1991年赴匈牙利工作。旅居国外期间，当过诊所医生、插图画家、大学老师、报社主编、翻译、家教、导游、演员，甚至果农蒜农等。游历欧洲列国，体味生活，笔耕不辍。现定居匈牙利布达佩斯。2017年，在第24届布达佩斯国际图书节上，余泽民获颁“匈牙利文化奖”。 【本期主播】 于是：作家、文学翻译。著有《查无此人》《有且仅有》《你我好时光》等长短篇小说、《慌城孤读》等散文集。译有三十余部英美文学作品，包括诺贝尔文学奖得主奥尔加·托卡尔丘克的《云游》、布克奖得主玛格丽特·阿特伍德的《证言》，国际布克奖得主玛丽克·卢卡斯·莱纳菲尔德的《不安之夜》等。 【时间轴】 00:00 「读懂金钱」专题付费节目早鸟价售卖中！ 00:37 诺奖揭晓后收到总理贺电：谢谢，但我还会继续反对你的执政理念 07:26 初识拉斯洛：如果说我们是朋友，李白是介绍人 14:16 “这么一个人，通过书是读不到的” 20:07 拉斯洛学会的第一句中文：“一瓶二锅头” 25:30 用一个月的翻完《茹兹的陷阱》，被自己译出的文字震撼了 29:50 从拉斯洛开始，把当代匈牙利文学翻译介绍到中国来 33:12 拉斯洛最著名的长句分两种：一种像套娃，一种像火车 37:14 从《撒旦探戈》到《仁慈的关系》，拉斯洛的长句是怎样进化的 41:26 “砰 砰 砰 砰”——将玛丽莲·梦露的探戈写进《温克海姆男爵返乡》 46:09 上海九龙柱的传说：拉斯洛想象中的中国 54:16 拉斯洛如何用虚构回应东欧的政治格局变化 60:41 卡夫卡的寓言风格对拉斯洛小说创作的影响 62:26 拉斯洛的底色是“先天下之忧而忧”的悲悯 72:41 从长句子到长镜头：拉斯洛与塔尔·贝拉的传奇合作 88:28 阅读拉斯洛的最佳顺序：《撒旦探戈》其实没那么难！ 95:03 一夜成为网红译者，余泽民怎么理解翻译这件事？ 【节目中提到的人名和作品】 延伸收听 乒乓台050 | 拉斯洛的长句≠贝拉·塔尔的长镜头 151 专访匈牙利作家马利亚什·贝拉：东欧文学的另类气质 | 独上阁楼 人物 克拉斯诺霍尔卡伊·拉斯洛（Krasznahorkai László）：匈牙利当代最重要的作家之一，2025年诺贝尔文学奖得主，2015年布克国际奖得主，囊括了包括科舒特奖、共和国桂冠奖等几乎所有重要的匈牙利文学奖项，著有《撒旦探戈》《反抗的忧郁》《仁慈的关系》，以后现代主义小说、反乌托邦主题与忧郁的基调闻名。著名导演塔尔·贝拉几乎所有的电影都改编自其作品。 塔尔·贝拉（Tarr Béla）：匈牙利导演、剧作家，匈牙利艺术电影代表人物之一。代表作包括长达七小时的《撒旦探戈》以及《鲸鱼马戏团》《都灵之马》《来自伦敦的男人》《诅咒》等。 纳达斯·彼得（Nádas Péter）：匈牙利作家，剧作家，散文家，代表作《平行故事》《故事终结》。 裴多菲·山多尔（Petőfi Sándor）：匈牙利爱国诗人和民族英雄，自由主义革命者，被认为是匈牙利民族文学的奠基人，在其短暂的一生中，他创作了近千首诗歌，其中800余首流传至今，其作品被译为多种语言。 沃洛什·山多尔（Weöres Sándor）：匈牙利著名诗人、作家、翻译家和文化学者，科舒特奖得主。其创作深受中国古典诗歌影响，翻译有《道德经》等中国典籍及李白等诗人的作品。 凯尔泰斯·伊姆雷（Kertész Imre）：匈牙利作家，代表作《无形的命运》，以他在集中营的生活为背景。2002年，凯尔泰斯·伊姆雷因该部作品获得诺贝尔文学奖，获奖理由为“对脆弱的个人在对抗强大的野蛮强权时的痛苦经历进行了深入的刻画，而其自传体文学风格也具有独特性”。 马洛伊·山多尔（Márai Sándor）：匈牙利小说家、诗人和剧作家。主要作品有《烛烬》《伪装成独白的爱情》《一个市民的自白》等。 奥尔加·托卡尔丘克（Olga Tokarczuk）：波兰国宝级作家，代表作《太古和其他的时间》《白天的房子，夜晚的房子》《雅各布之书》等。她善于在作品中融合民间传说、神话、宗教故事来观照人类生活。2018年诺贝尔文学奖得主，授奖理由为“她的叙事富于百科全书式的激情和想象力，呈现了一种跨越边界的生命形式。” 彼得·汉德克（Peter Handke）：奥地利诗人、小说家、剧作家、电影导演，2019年获得诺贝尔文学奖。代表作包括话剧《冒犯观众》、小说《守门员的焦虑》和维姆·文德斯电影《歧路》《柏林苍穹下》的剧本。 弗朗茨·卡夫卡（Franz Kafka）：出生于奥匈帝国的德语小说家和短篇故事作家，被评论家们誉为20世纪最具影响力的作家之一。代表作《城堡》《审判》《变形记》。 乔治·西默农（Georges Simenon）：比利时法语作家，一生中创作超过450部推理小说，著有自传《一个平凡的人》。塔尔·贝拉导演电影《来自伦敦的男人》改编自其小说。 戴维·罗宾森（David Robinson）：英国电影评论家、作家，曾为《视与听》《金融时报》《泰晤士报》长期撰稿，并撰写了查理·卓别林的官方传记《卓别林画传》。 书籍 《撒旦探戈》《反抗的忧郁》《仁慈的关系》《世界在前进》《温克海姆男爵返乡》（即将出版）《乌兰巴托的囚徒》《梵高传》《在路上》《平行故事》《故事终结》《雅各布之书》《城堡》《丑陋的中国人》《命运无常》《烛烬》《摘郁金香的男孩》 影视 《撒旦探戈》《鲸鱼马戏团》《都灵之马》《来自伦敦的男人》《最后一艘船》《有一个中国人》《光荣之子》（自由与爱情） 【出品方】中信书店 【出品人】李楠 【策划人】蔡欣 【制作人】何润哲 广岛乱 【运营编辑】黄鱼 【运营支持】李坪芳 【平面设计】王尊一 【后期剪辑】崔崔

With exclusive commentary from BJ Cole himself, we uncover the inspirations, studio sessions, and collaborations that brought this cult classic to life. From its dazzling pedal steel work to its eclectic songwriting, this album remains a hidden gem for vinyl collectors and prog-country enthusiasts alike.

Snímek Franz právě vstupuje do kin. Jaký byl Kafka v soukromí a jak by asi popsal stav dnešního světa? „Neuvěřitelný technologicky vývoj by ho uchvátil, protože měl velký zájem o novinky a vynálezy a analogovou techniku. Cítil by ale také úzkost, kam lidstvo míří a do jaké míry jedinec vůbec nic neznamená“ usuzuje v rozhovoru pro Český rozhlas Plus režisérka filmu Agnieszka Holland.

In which I talk to writer Christine Estima about her debut novel, Letters to Kafka. The novel conjures the voice of Milena Jesenská, the absent interlocutor to Franz Kafka's posthumously published Letters to Milena, in a vivid portrayal of a stifled intellectual whose spirit and ambition outpace the role of women in her time.

Let us know what you enjoy about the show!What if the things we've lost aren't really missing, but simply traveling? This tender retelling of a story attributed to Franz Kafka offers a profound perspective on change, transformation, and how we might relate differently to what we feel we've lost.Through the tale of a little girl whose doll goes missing in a Berlin park, we discover a beautiful metaphor for life's transitions. When a thin man suggests the doll isn't lost but traveling, he begins delivering letters that chronicle her adventures around the world. With each note, we learn alongside the child how “a postcard can be a doorway, how a suitcase can be a spine, how homesickness is just love with somewhere to go.”The story culminates in recognition and acceptance when the girl receives a new doll—embodying the way experience changes us. A short guided reflection invites you to consider your own “traveling dolls”: aspects of life that may be changing form rather than disappearing. What might they write to you today? What wisdom have they gathered on their journey?Whether you're navigating a transition, processing a loss, or simply curious about new ways to meet change, these six minutes offer a quiet pause to breathe, listen, and perhaps write your own postcard from whatever is moving in your life now.Note: This is a contemporary retelling of a story often attributed to Franz Kafka; the original letters were never found.If you are enjoying the show please subscribe, share and review!

️ Descripción del episodio / video El hombre es el niño del padre. Con esta cita de Wordsworth abrimos una reflexión íntima, emocional y poderosa sobre la figura del padre en la construcción de la identidad masculina. En este episodio de La teoría de la mente (o en este vídeo de AMADAG TV), nos sumergimos en un tema tan profundo como silenciado: la huella del padre en la vida de los hombres. ‍ A lo largo de más de 25 años en consulta, hemos escuchado cientos de historias marcadas por el deseo de aprobación, el peso del juicio, el miedo a decepcionar o la imposibilidad de ser vistos realmente por quien debió abrirnos la puerta a la vida. No se trata de restar importancia a las madres, sino de rescatar esa parte esencial de la experiencia masculina que muchas veces queda oculta bajo la coraza del silencio o la exigencia. A través de la historia de la famosa carta de Franz Kafka a su padre —un documento brutal, tierno y demoledor— exploramos cómo el amor no expresado, el juicio constante o la ausencia de reconocimiento pueden dejar cicatrices duraderas. Pero también nos acercamos a figuras como Richard Feynman o Pablo Picasso, quienes nos muestran cómo un padre puede abrir ventanas, inspirar mundos y legitimar el camino de un hijo. ️‍ ️ La figura del padre es más que un modelo: es, a veces, un portero simbólico que decide si mereces estar en la fiesta de la vida o si te colaste por error. Ese “ticket” simbólico es el que muchos hombres persiguen durante años, sin saber que quizás el botón que activa esa validación no está en sus manos, sino en la capacidad (o la limitación) del padre para reconocer sin desaparecer. En muchos casos, el camino hacia la salud emocional consiste en reconocer que ese permiso nunca llegó... y aún así seguir adelante. Dar el paso de convertirse en el padre que no se tuvo, ofrecerse uno mismo el reconocimiento que faltó y entender que no era Dios... era solo un hombre, con miedos, límites y su propia historia no resuelta. ✨ Porque tal vez no podamos cambiar el pasado, pero sí podemos escribir un nuevo presente. Un presente donde la curiosidad es una forma de amor, donde podemos mirar con ternura al niño que fuimos y decirle: “Lo hiciste bien, ahora sigue tu camino.” Palabras clave (SEO) relación padre hijo,hombres y sus padres,herida paterna,psicología del padre,relación paterna,figura del padre,trauma paterno,validación del padre,autoestima masculina,relación con el padre,kafka y su padre,carta al padre,psicología masculina,psicología emocional,paternidad,masculinidad y emociones,roles familiares,amor paterno,aceptación del padre,ausencia del padre,conflicto padre hijo,autoafirmación masculina,terapia para hombres,niño interior masculino,heridas emocionales Hashtags #RelaciónPadreHijo, #PsicologíaMasculina, #Kafka, #AutoestimaMasculina, #HeridaPaterna, #LaTeoríaDeLaMente Títulos sugeridos (con fórmulas clickbait) 4 cosas que todo hombre necesita escuchar de su padre (y casi nunca oye) Por qué dejar de buscar la aprobación de tu padre lo cambia todo Esta carta jamás fue leída… pero liberó a millones de hijos 5 heridas que te deja un padre que nunca te reconoció Esta manera de sanar tu relación con tu padre te cambiará para siempre Enlaces recomendados Nuestra escuela de ansiedad: www.escuelaansiedad.com Nuestro nuevo libro: www.elmapadelaansiedad.com Visita nuestra página Web: http://www.amadag.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Asociacion.Agorafobia/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amadag.psico/ ▶️ YouTube Amadag TV: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC22fPGPhEhgiXCM7PGl68rw

Film Franz předkládá jako mozaiku díla pražského, německy píšícího spisovatele. Oproti jednotvárnému životu zdůrazňuje Kafkovo intuitivní myšlení s otevřenými konci. „Kafka předvídal koncentrační tábory a plynové komory, neuvěřitelnou krutost 2. světové války a holokaustu,“ říká Agnieszka Holland. Jak současná veřejnost a mládež chápe Franze Kafku? „Spousta mladých lidí dnes cítí, že jsou jiní, že mají neurodivergentní povahu. Franz ji měl taky,“ domnívá se režisérka.Všechny díly podcastu Host Lucie Výborné můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

Milena Jesenská was a courageous journalist, translator and resister of the Nazi regime. So why do most people only know her as Franz Kafka's lover? Milena was one of the great loves of Kafka's life, and his letters to her are immortalized in the book Letters to Milena. But that story remains unfinished … because Milena's responses have never been found. That's where writer Christine Estima steps in. In her debut novel, Letters to Kafka, Christine tells Milena's story and gives voice to a woman often overshadowed in history. Liked this conversation?

IntroductionEach year millions of tourists visit the Czech capital, awed by its blend of architectural styles and dramatic landscape. St. Vitus's Gothic cathedral towers above the Charles Bridge and the Vltava River, while winding alleys lead to elegant squares lined with Renaissance palaces, Baroque statues, and modern glass structures. Yet this beauty obscures centuries of conflict — ethnic, religious, political, and more typically mundane conflicts— beginning when Prague was just a fort on a hill above a river. Presumably it wasn't built there for the view.In her new book, Prague: The Heart of Europe, Cynthia Paces traces the city's history from the late ninth century, when Slavic dukes built the first fortifications and church, through eleven centuries of triumph and tragedy. Prague has been both an imperial center of a great empire and a city on the periphery of empires—several of them. It became a European capital of art, politics, and pilgrimage, endured religious wars and defenestrations, and was nearly destroyed in the Thirty Years' War. At the beginning of the twentieth century it was celebrated as a beacon of democracy, only for its citizens to endure violent antisemitism, Nazi occupation, and communist repression — before once again becoming a beacon of democracy.Through her story of Prague we come to understand the truth of Franz Kafka's observation: “Prague does not let go; this little mother has claws.” Our conversation moves across centuries of wars, saints, emperors, rebellions, and revolutions to show why Prague still grips the imagination.About the GuestCynthia Paces is Professor of History at The College of New Jersey.

“No endeavor to write a travel book is ever lost, since it gives you a useful perspective on (and intensified attention to) the reality of the travel experience itself.

He is Franz Kafka! Franz Kafka! He wrote The Trial. It's a book about byzantine bureaucracy bearing down on lil old Josef K.
