A Hunger Artist

This book delves into the themes of spiritual poverty, asceticism, futility, and alienation of the modern artist. The author's edit before his death contributed to the power of these stories, making them his best-known and defining work. The title story, "A Hunger Artist," is a fatal fulfillment expressing Kafka's desire for permanence. The book contains four inspired stories, newly published in separate editions, each with its own illustrator from the Prague community.
