About the Author:
Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was born of Jewish parents in Prague. Several of his story collections were published in his lifetime and his novels, The Trial, The Castle, and Amerika, were published posthumously by his editor Max Brod.
From Library Journal:
Like How Man Wong's recent Exploring the Yangtze ( LJ 4/1/90) and Marc Riboud's Capital of Heaven ( LJ 1/91), this is a photo essay recording the travels of a photographer in contemporary China. In this case, Schwartz has photographed sections of the Great Wall of China and provided a few pages of disjointed thoughts and phrases about his trip. His black-and-white photographs use light and shadow to create interesting, often understated, images, with less concern for showiness or exoticism that is common in the other two books. Besides Schwartz's work, this volume includes Borges's speculative essay "The Wall and the Books" and a four-page history of the wall's construction by Luo Zhenwen. Suitable for collections with an interest in China or photography.

Book Description Cloth Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Illustrated (illustrator). Dj has some edgewear & creasing with light soiling. Pages feel lightly wavy but there are no indications that it has been damp- I believe that it is either from the type of paper used or because of all the photographs. There is a residue on front endpage that looks like something had been attached & removed. The top book edges have been scraped some. Light soiling. Lightly bumped corners. Good reading copy. Book measures 10-3/4" x 10-3/4". ***Because of the size of this book, if you request expedited shipping or shipping outside of the USA, we will require additional shipping charges to cover expenses. ***.
