The Sunny Side of Franz Kafka - Words of Wisdom selected by Maria Moreira

Existentialist, modernist and viral sensation: Franz Kafka is the life coach you didn't know you needed.

‘The last glass of milk has not yet been drunk'

There is still time. There is still hope. And sometimes, the most unexpected voice is the one we need most.

Famous for his stories of the uncanny and the bleak, and for his piercing love letters, social media's favourite existentialist also had a sunny side. Dead for over a century, yet strikingly contemporary, Kafka speaks like a friend: attentive, understanding, and gently encouraging.

Drawn from letters to lovers, friends, and family, these pages offer brief, luminous moments of comfort, humour, and insight, reflections on love, work, rest, and the small, often overlooked joys of everyday life. In bold and beautiful hardback, this is the perfect Christmas gift for a literary loved one.
