FRANZ KAFKA – BRIEFE AN FELICE
This book can be seen as a re-interpretation of Franz Kafka’s ‘Letters to Felice’:
All the letters Franz Kafka wrote to Felice Bauer, to whom he was engaged twice, are being reduced onto the different variations he uses to address her.
This reduction doesn’t mean a loss of content: by focusing on these words, a certain poetry emerges in many places through the rhythm, the various forms of address and the compositions on the spreads.
This way, the chronological development as well as the change in the relationship between Kafka and Felice can be experienced.
The type area, typography and line spacing are being kept exactly the same as in the book of reference, only enlarged by 1,5 the size.
