Franz Kafka (Author)
Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was born into a Jewish family in Prague. In 1906 he received a doctorate in jurisprudence, and for many years he worked a tedious job as a civil service lawyer investigating claims at the State Worker's Accident Insurance Institute. He never married, and published only a few slim volumes of stories during his lifetime. Meditation, a collection of sketches, appeared in 1912; The Stoker: A Fragment in 1913; Metamorphosis in 1915; The Judgement in 1916; In the Penal Colony in 1919; and A Country Doctor in 1920. The great novels were not published until after his death from tuberculosis: America, The Trial and The Castle.

Klappentext

'The last glass of milk has not yet been drunk'

Meet your new life coach: Franz Kafka.

Comfort, hope, laughter, wisdom: Kafka's words have it all. Though he has been dead for more than a century, on every page of this book can be found a very present friend and ally.

Kafka wrote a lot of letters during his short life - to lovers and crushes, friends and family. This book draws from those letters to offer us miniature messages of understanding and fellow-feeling. Find advice in love, encouragement to laugh, joy in nature, work and rest: in Kafka's words we find a person who wishes only good to others.

So when in need, reach for a pep talk from a delightful if unlikely hero...
