Wedding Preparations in the Country

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wedding Preparations in the Country (Hochzeitsvorbereitungen auf dem Lande) is an uncompleted work by Franz Kafka which depicts in great detail the journey of the groom Raban travelling to the country to meet his future wife Betty. Written between 1907 and 1908, three fragments with missing pages have survived, and, as most of Kafka's work, they were published after his death by his friend Max Brod. According to Brod, Kafka's intention was to complete the story as a novel. An English Translation of the story appears in The Complete Stories of Franz Kafka.
