A great American writer's confrontation with a great European critic - a personal and intellectual awakening.
A hundred years ago, the Viennese satirist Karl Kraus was among the most penetrating and prophetic writers in Europe: a relentless critic of the popular media's manipulation of reality, the dehumanizing machinery of technology and consumerism, and the jingoistic rhetoric of a fading empire. But even though his followers included Franz Kafka and Walter Benjamin, he remained something of a lonely prophet, and few people today are familiar with his work. Thankfully, Jonathan Franzen is one of them.
In 'The Kraus Project', Franzen not only presents and annotates his definitive new translations of Kraus, with supplementary notes from the Kraus scholar Paul Reitter and the Austrian writer Daniel Kehlmann. In Franzen Kraus has found his match: a novelist unafraid to voice unpopular opinions strongly, a critic capable of untangling Kraus's often dense arguments.
Painstakingly wrought, strikingly original in form, 'The Kraus Project' is a feast of thought, passion and literature.

Zustand: Good. : En 'The Kraus Project', Jonathan Franzen no solo presenta y anota sus nuevas traducciones definitivas de Kraus, con notas complementarias del erudito de Kraus, Paul Reitter, y el escritor austriaco Daniel Kehlmann. En Franzen Kraus ha encontrado a su pareja: un novelista que no teme expresar opiniones impopulares con firmeza, un crítico capaz de desenredar los argumentos a menudo densos de Kraus. Hace cien años, el satírico vienés Karl Kraus fue uno de los escritores más penetrantes y proféticos de Europa: un crítico implacable de la manipulación de la realidad por parte de los medios populares, la maquinaria deshumanizadora de la tecnología y el consumismo, y la retórica patriótica de un imperio en decadencia.
