Homage to the master of surreal realism: Franz Kafka.
These instruments allude with sly wit to Kafka's theme of metamorphosis: their shape gradually shifts from round at the cap to square at the base.
Translucent dark red resin, 925 sterling silver trim. Includes all original packaging and papers and namely: Franz Kafka book box, illustrated outer box (one side is still sealed), white cardboard sleeve, International Service Certificate - International Reply Card (blank), customer info, polishing cloth (sealed).
The design of the Writers Edition Franz Kafka is not only reminiscent of the simple and yet artful style of its eponym, but also pays tribute to Kafka’s most famous work: The Metamorphosis. In the fascinating change from square to round in the writing instrument’s form, the metamorphosis described in Kafka’s story has found its equivalent.
Top, clip and rings made of 925 sterling silver offer a thrilling contrast to the dark red translucent aura of the barrel.
With masterworks such as The Trial, The Judgement and The Metamorphosis, Franz Kafka became the literary model of a whole generation. Having died young from a severe disease, the crosser of literary frontiers between dream and reality did not, however, come to enjoy a worldwide reputation until after 1945: in the following years, his unique writing style made literary history with the notion of the “Kafkaesque”.
