When we speak of the work of Franz Kafka (1883–1924), we instinctively think of his literary work. It is less well known that Kafka also loved to draw. From early on his friend and literary executor Max Brod was of the opinion that Kafka was "an artist of particular strength and individuality as a draughtsman too" and that it was unjust merely to regard his drawings as a "curiosity". This book brings together the author's drawings, accompanied by the relevant texts, providing a unique and comprehensive documentation.
