Un any abans de la seva mort, Franz Kafka va viure una insòlita experiència. Al parc Steglitz de Berlín va trobar una nena plorant perquè havia perdut la seva nina. Per calmar a la petita es va inventar una història peculiar: la nina no s’havia perdut, se’n havia anat de viatge, i ell, convertit en carter de nines, tenia una carta que li portaria el dia següent al parc. Durant tres setmanes, Kafka escriu aquestes cartes com si es tractés de qualsevol de les seves obres immortals aconseguint així crear un autèntic món de fantasia.
