Ez ismét németből van angolra fordítva, sajnos az eredeti nincs meg. Az utolsó részt nem értem, hogy mire vonatkozik. Az első mondat "doing away' részére utal? Elakadtam...
In June 1938, less than a year from Brod’s flight from Prague, Walter Benjamin wrote to Gershom Scholem that Kafka’s world was “the exact complement of his era which is preparing to do away with the inhabitants of this planet on a considerable scale. The experience which corresponds to that of Kafka, the private individual, will probably not become accessible to the masses *until such time as they are being done away with*.”
