Through the Eyes of Franz Kafka

Between Image and Language

Edited with text by Nicholas Sawicki, Marie Rakušanová. Preface by Zuzana Jürgens. Text by Alexander Klee, Marek Nekula, Miroslav Halák.

Journey through Kafka’s Prague and discover the art, architecture, media and performances that influenced the author’s oeuvre

What did Franz Kafka see and do, whom did he meet and what did he read while roaming the streets of Prague? Through the Eyes of Franz Kafka brings the world of turn-of-the-century Czechoslovakia and its cultural milieu to life. The author’s home city was a heterogeneous and multilingual metropolis whose visual environment shaped his everyday experiences, from local painting and sculpture to architecture, monuments and popular visual media including advertisements, photography and cabaret. Kafka’s attention to the modern visual culture of his era was reflected in his writings and in his interest in drawing, a practice in which he received preliminary training and which he took up in his free time during his years as a university student. This illustrated publication immerses us in Kafka’s world; by following in his footsteps and looking through his eyes, we gain a new understanding of his thoughts, philosophies and inspirations.
