A Hunger Artist is a thought-provoking short story by Franz Kafka that delves into themes of isolation, alienation, and the pursuit of personal authenticity. The narrative revolves around the enigmatic figure of the hunger artist, a performer whose artistry lies in his ability to endure prolonged fasting as a form of public spectacle. Set against the backdrop of a carnival-like atmosphere, the story follows the hunger artist as he engages in his extreme performances, captivating audiences with his self-imposed starvation. Despite his dedication to his craft, the hunger artist finds himself increasingly marginalized and misunderstood in a society that values spectacle over substance. As the story unfolds, the hunger artist grapples with his own existential crisis, longing for recognition and validation of his artistry in a world that seems indifferent to his suffering. Through his interactions with spectators, promoters, and admirers, Kafka explores the complexities of artistic expression, the fickleness of public opinion, and the inherent contradictions of human nature. A Hunger Artist is a poignant exploration of the tension between the individual s quest for authenticity and society s demands for conformity. With its stark imagery, introspective narrative, and existential themes, Kafka s tale challenges readers to confront their own assumptions about art, identity, and the pursuit of meaning in a world fraught with disillusionment and uncertainty.

Edición de María Teresa Ruestes con la colaboración de Antonio Ramajo y José Solís de los Santos.Fernando de Herrera publicó relativamente poco y es recordado sobre todo por su propia colección poética, Algunas obras (1582), dechado de precision clasicista y exquisitez lirica. Admiradores y amigos de Herrera, encabezados por el pintor Francisco Pacheco, publicaron en 1619 un grueso volumen de Versos del sevillano, muchos de ellos ineditos.La presente edicion para la BCRAE sigue el volumen impreso en 1582, del que se han cotejado todos los ejemplares conocidos, incluido uno que contiene correcciones manuscritas del propio autor. Se estudian asimismo las diferencias entre esa edicion y la postuma (1619), para otorgarle a esta ultima mayor relevancia autorial de la que se le habia reconocido; se han tenido en cuenta tambien los manuscritos conservados, en especial uno de 1578 con abundantes poesias no recogidas en los impresos, y el conjunto se completa con cuatro poemas latinos de juventud.El resultado es una edicion cuidada al detalle que se erige en interpretacion integral de una de las cimas indiscutibles de la poesia amatoria, elegiaca y heroica del Siglo de Oro.
