During his life, he published only seven small books, but he left behind three unfinished novels and a mass of stories, reflections, and personal writings that were published after his death. In particular, his novels, alongside short stories such as \u003ci\u003eThe Judgement\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Metamorphosis\u003c\/i\u003e, have made him one of the most widely read, significant, and influential writers of the twentieth century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Coinciding with the centennial of Kafka's death, this collection of essays, illustrated with manuscripts, archival material, postcards, and family photographs, contextualizes Kafka in his life and times while showing how his own experiences nourished his imagination. This book is a celebration not just of Kafka's achievements and creativity, but also of how--even a century after his death--he continues to inspire new literary, theatrical, and cinematic creations around the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ritchie Robertson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1851246223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781851246229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bodleian Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Ritchie Robertson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46052505452799,"sku":"9781851246229","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e30f6f9d-e4d0-4df2-80e7-4864089669db.jpg?v=1723556578","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kafka-ritchie-robertson-9781851246229","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
