Some of the parchment pages were the color of cream, thick and substantial, made to last many, many lifetimes. Other pages were thin and desiccated, positively yellow from age, and crackled alarmingly as Van Richten turned them over. There were no ornate illuminations, no fussy borders, only lines of plain text in hard black ink.

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.
