Description
"A useful addition to any thinking person's library. . . . Includes reproductions of Kafka's letters, original book covers, and a well-drawn map of Prague."—Adam Lebor, New Statesman Though he died almost unacknowledged, Franz Kafka is now recognized as one of the greatest authors of the twentieth century and the creator of some of modern literature's most unsettling and memorable images. Every one of his forty years was spent in his hometown of Prague; this book is the story of his life and the city whose influence infuses every aspect of his works.
