THE BOOK

One year before his death, Franz Kafka lived a very unusual experience. Walking along the Steglitz Park in Berlin, he met a little girl inconsolably crying: she had lost her doll… To calm her down, the author of The Metamorphosis invented a story: the doll was travelling and he, the dolls postman, had a letter from her. That night Franz wrote the first of many letters that, for three weeks, he delivered to the little girl, narrating the extraordinary adventures of the doll from lots of different places all around the world. Dora Dymant, Kafka’s partner in those days, told he wrote these letters in a feverish state comparable to the writing of any of his immortal works.

IN BRIEF

Awarded with the Spanish National Prize of Children\'s Literature 2007.
The Jury has decided to award Kafka and the Traveller Doll for being a book with a simple story that touches all the possible emotional fibbers. For Fernando Marías, member of the jury, “its major virtue is the simplicity, which produces a great power that crosses the heart of the reader. Both for children and for adult readers, the book supports a solid naiveté that sticks to the look of any reader ".
