Klaus Wagenbach's account of Kafka's life in the city is a meticulously researched insight into the author's family background, his education and employment, his attitude toward the town of his birth, his literary influences, and his relationships with women.
The writer who captured the feeling of the world ahead of him was also inextricably bound to the city he was based in. Author of "Franz Kafka: The Early Years" looks closely at this relationship here.
