Uning otasiga maktub

Vikipediya, ochiq ensiklopediya
Kafkaning qoʻlyozma “maktubi”ning 103-sahifasidan birinchisi.

Uning otasiga maktub ( nemischa: Brief an den Vater ) asosan Frans Kafka bu asarida 1919-yil noyabrida otasi Hermannga yozgan maktublarini birlashtirgan va kitob Hermannni oʻgʻliga nisbatan ko'p ruhiy zarbalar berganini ko'rsatib beradi.

Kafka maktublarida u va otasi o'rtasidagi kengayib borayotgan bo'shliqni bartaraf etishidan umid qilgan, ammo maktubda u ikkala tomonniyam keskin tanqid qilgan:

Dearest Father, You asked me recently why I maintain that I am afraid of you. As usual, I was unable to think of any answer to your question, partly for the very reason that I am afraid of you, and partly because an explanation of the grounds for this fear would mean going into far more details than I could even approximately keep in mind while talking. And if I now try to give you an answer in writing, it will still be very incomplete...

— Franz Kafka, Letter to His Father[1]

Tarjimasi:

Qadrli otajon,

Yaqinda mendan nega sendan qo'rqayotganimni so'ragansan. Odatdagidek, men savolingga javob topa olmadim va bu qisman sendan qo'rqishimni va bu qo'rquvning sabablarini tushuntirish men hatto taxmin qilishim mumkin bo'lgandan ham ko'proq tafsilotlarni aytib berishni anglatadi. Hatto hozir sizga yozma ravishda javob berishga urinib ko'rganimdayam, to'liq tushunarli bo'la olmaydi...

Max Brodning so'zlariga ko'ra, Kafka xatni aslida otasiga topshirish uchun onasiga bergan. Onasi xatni hech qachon yetkazmagan va o‘g‘liga qaytarib bergan. 45-betlik asl xat Kafka tomonidan mashinkada yozilgan va qo‘lda tuzatilgan. Ikki yarim qo'shimcha esa sahifa qo'lda yozilgan[2].

Ernst Kaiser va Eithne Wilkins tomonidan ingliz tiliga tarjima qilingan maktub 1966-yilda Schocken Books tomonidan ikki tilda nashr etilgan va Kafka asarlarining bir nechta Shocken to'plamlariga kiritilgan. Hannah va Richard Stokesning yangi tarjimasi Oneworld Classics tomonidan 2008-yilda "Eng Qadrli Ota" nomi ostida nashr etilgan.
