Whispers in Prague

More about the book

Inspired by Franz Kafka's writings, Whispers in Prague is a collection of grainy black and white photographs that were captured depicting the city of Prague and town of Terezin in all their moods, portraying their "soulless tourist kitsch, and myriad emotions." The author is clearly in love with this charismatic city, as well as being captivated by Kafka's intensely thought-provoking and lyrical writings. Instead of simply portraying popular tourist sights he "observes people and their shifting moods," and matches the photographs with Kafka's words. He captures and comments on human emotions by musing about subjects such as love, philosophy, optimism and despair.
