Notes:

"Published as a supplement to issue v-vi of Twice a year (a book of literature, the arts and civil liberties). Originally intended to be included in the issue itself, it grew to the proportions of this separate volume."

With the exception of the extract from Max Brod's Biography of Franz Kafka (tr. by G. Humphreys-Roberts) the translations are by Sophie Prombaum.

"The...excerpts from...The castle are taken from the final sixty-six pages of the second German edition. These pages, comprising an additional two-and-a-half chapters, had not been included in the first edition [of The castle], which was translated by Edwin and Willa Muir."
