Which Birthday Marks the Start of Old Age?

According to a US national survey on aging, the older people become, the younger they feel and the more likely they are to perceive "old age" as occurring later in life. The survey found not only that a gap exists between actual age and the age people say they feel, but also that this discrepancy increases with age. While, on average, survey respondents said old age begins at 68, people in the 30 to 64 age group maintained that it begins at around 70 and those 65 and older pushed the limit to 74. Respondents under 30, meanwhile, said they consider 60 the beginning of old age. More on the subject...

In order to ensure the line of succession, Capet immediately crowned his son Robert. Today, members of the Capetian dynasty are heads of state in what countries? More...

Franz Kafka (1883)

Despite the fact that he published only a few short works during his lifetime, Kafka is regarded as one of the most influential 20th-century writers. In prose remarkable for its clarity and precision, Kafka presents a world that is at once real and dreamlike and in which individuals burdened with guilt, isolation, and anxiety make a futile search for personal salvation. What virtually insurmountable difficulties do translators face when converting Kafka's works from German into English? More...
