content
The short-lived magazine Hyperion was an expensively produced revue, which appeared from 1908 to 1910 in an edition of 1000 copies on English vellum and a small special edition on handmade paper. The signet , title and font were designed by Walter Tiemann . While the first year of the Hyperion appeared in a provisional version of the Tiemann-Antiqua, the second year was set in the final version of the font. Many of the illustrations were etchings and lithographs removed from the original plates . For each year were Binders from Buckram in the Wiener Werkstätte produced, then the reader that their as a brochure could be delivered books by year of birth bind; Half- parchment and full-leather covers were also available. The connoisseurship of Franz Bleis also ensured that the magazine not only featured excellent texts by well-known authors, but also first publications by unknown authors. The first eight prose pieces by Kafka appeared here, namely The Trees , Clothes , The Rejection , The Merchant , Scattered Looking Out , The Way Home , The Passers-by, and The Passenger .
The following quote from Kafka's obituary for the magazine in which his first writings were published outlines the profile of the magazine very precisely:
- The intention of the founders of Hyperion was to step with him into that void in the literary journalism which Pan had first recognized, after him tried to fill The Island , and which has apparently been open since then. This is where the Hyperion's mistake begins . Admittedly, there has hardly ever been a literary magazine that made a more noble mistake. In its time the Pan brought the benefit of a horror over Germany by uniting and strengthening the essential contemporary but as yet unrecognized forces. The island flattered itself where it lacked that ultimate necessity, another, albeit a lower one. The Hyperion didn't have any. He was supposed to give a great living representation to those who dwell on the borders of literature; but it did not belong to them, and they really did not want it either.
