【内容介绍】

2019年，弗朗茨·卡夫卡的大约一百五十幅画作首次在以色列国家图书馆公开。除了数量远超此前为人所知的寥寥几幅，这也是其绘画作品首次以独立姿态，而非文学作品的附属形式与世人见面。虽然卡夫卡以他的写作而闻名，但这些画作证明了他的文学执行人，也是其终生挚友马克思·布罗德所说的“双重天赋”——他笔下充满了迷人的人物，从现实到梦幻、怪诞、离奇、狂欢化，他们照亮了这位现代主义作家不为人知的一面。

近一个世纪以来，它们历经战乱、版权纠纷。这一次，四散于耶路撒冷、维也纳、牛津大学、马尔巴赫等处的163幅画作及珍贵手稿终于结集成书，读者无须遍走全球，只需翻开书页，即可与K一起穿行梦境。

【 Content Introduction 】

In 2019, about one hundred and fifty paintings by Franz Kafka were unveiled for the first time at the National Library of Israel. In addition to being far more numerous than the few previously known, this is the first time that his paintings have been seen by the world in an independent manner, rather than as a subsidiary form of literary works. Although Kafka is best known for his writing, these paintings testify to what his literary executor and lifelong friend Max Brod called his "double gift" - his fascinating characters, from the real to the dreamy, the grotesque, the bizarre, the revelatory, illuminate a hidden side of the modernist writer.

For nearly a century, they have endured wars and copyright disputes. This time, 163 paintings and precious manuscripts scattered in Jerusalem, Vienna, Oxford University, Marbach and other places have finally been assembled into a book, readers do not need to travel the world, just turn the page, and you can walk through the dream with K.
