Without ceasing to constitute an interface to the world and the era to which it belongs, beyond the stated inability to adhere to it, Franz Kafka’s work – The Trial, The Castle, Metamorphosis, The Penal Colony, and others have built an universe in which the mythic parable abolishes history, closing it between the pages of such “revealing” books. The poetics of “nostos”, common to the great modern reinterpreters of myths, does not mean with Kafka a re-reading of Hebrew mystical tradition seen as the story of the writer’s religious conceptions. If Kafka’s prose may be seen as the end of an anthropological itinerary (in terms of G. Durand) beginning with Gnostic traditions preserved in Kabbalah, his motivation is to be found in the deepest spiritual structure of this writer possessed the dream of Don Quixote’s “indestructible world” who “was not a religious writer, but he turned literature into religion”.
