Description
During his lifetime, he was completely unknown, but after his death, he quickly achieved worldwide fame and is considered one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. Franz Kafka, whose 100th anniversary of death we celebrated in 2024, is also celebrated in the book by historian Petr Koura, accompanied by illustrations from the comic author Opráski – Jaze. The subtitle of the book, "The Second Life of Franz Kafka or Life Begins at Death," suggests that you will mainly read about his "second life," that is, his posthumous "life." How he was talked about, how he was evaluated, interpreted, or misused. The authors offer a different perspective on Franz Kafka and describe the circumstances under which various labels were attached to him after his death, and how these interpretations changed. They also reflect with humor on what Franz Kafka himself might say about his second life.
