Franz Kafka, A Life in Prague

“Franz Kafka was Prague and Prague was Franz Kafka”, Johannes Urzidil once wrote. And indeed, following the traces of Kafka’s life, your way leads right into the heart of the old royal seat on the river Vltava. With every fibre of his being, the author was deeply rooted in the soil of Prague – the city and its people shine through all his works.

This literary guidebook teaches us to see Prague the way Kafka saw it and, through many reprints and editions, it has become a classic. Bursting with more than 150 historic illustrations and constantly updated, over the years it has gained undisputed status as the guide for everyone who wants to follow in the footsteps of the Prague writer Franz Kafka through the Golden City at the turn of the 20th century.
