The Jungborn nudist sanatorium, the Paris metro, or the picturesque town of Stresa by Lago Magiorre – these are just some of the many places visited by Franz Kafka, the great Prague-born Jewish writer who died exactly 100 years ago. To mark the occasion, a new book, has just come out dedicated to Kafka’s travels. I spoke to its author, journalist and publicist Judita Matyášová:

“We decided to create this book as an inspiration for those who already know Kafka. We would like to inspire people who are perhaps a little bit intimidated by his writing, who think that he is maybe too depressing or pessimistic. So we would like to invite them to follow in his footsteps all around Europe.”
