A tall and frail man of thirty-nine exits a train to nowhere.The man is Franz Kafka.Terminally ill from tuberculosis, he checks himself into a dreary Czech sanitarium, and finds himself sharing a ward with a man who, in many ways, is quite similar to him. Jaroslav Hasek is not only the same age, but also a writer, and also suffering from the same disease.Though, in other ways, these men are quite different, which leads to great conflict, as well as a bittersweet and emotional climax.Also included in this edition are "Prague Gothic" and "The Revenge of Stalin."
