This book is a collection of conversations by Franz Kafka. In 1920, literary young man Janosz first visited Kafka, who was working in an insurance company, and a friendship began between him and his friend. For more than two years, Kafka developed a series of insightful thoughts and expressions around topics such as literature, art, reading, writing, freedom, love, and loneliness, during countless discussions in the office or while walking and chatting in Prague. He used books to build a barrier against his own limitations and inertia, and against the desk and chair in front of him. Janosz recorded these sentences that sparkle with thoughts, giving us the honor to hear the true voice of this literary saint. In this book, Kafka not only talks about daily thoughts on literature, writing, and art, but also talks about universal topics such as work, human freedom, family, and urban life. The golden sentences appear frequently and are very exciting. For example, talking about health and disease: "For healthy people, life is an unconscious and unspoken escape from the awareness that we are mortal. Disease is always a warning and at the same time a struggle. Therefore, illness, pain and illness are also very important sources of piety." For example, talking about writers and language: "Language is only lent to the living for an indeterminate period of time. We can only use it. In fact, it belongs to the dead and the unborn. Possession of language must be careful."
