  Life After Kafka

  A novel of Felice Bauer, Franz Kafka's first fiancée, and the story behind Letters to Felice 
   
   
   
  Franz Kafka scholars know Felice Bauer, his onetime fiancée, through his Letters to Felice, as little more than a woman with a raucous laugh and a taste for bourgeois comforts. Life After Kafka is her story. The novel begins in 1935 as Felice flees with her children from Hitler's Berlin, following her family and members of Kafka's entourage—including Grete Bloch, Max Brod, and Salman Schocken—as they try to escape the horrors of the Holocaust. Years later, a man claiming to be Kafka's son approaches Felice's son in Manhattan and the drama surrounding Kafka's letters to Felice begins. 
   
   
   
  While taking the measure of literary fame's long shadow, Life After Kafka depicts the magic and poison of memories, and what we cling to when all else is lost. Most of all, it illuminates the bravery required to move forward through the shattered remains of one world to rebuild life in a new one.

  This book is the beginning of my story. If you are reading this, you are either my son or grandson. I hope doing good will be your mission, as it was mine. I lived an entire life with family, true friends, and adventures beyond anything I imagined. I fought in two wars, worked two primary careers, and created wealth to be used to do good. The wealth you will learn about and experience as you turn evil to good. Evil comes from anywhere, anytime. It never sleeps, rests, or needs time off. Many shapes, sizes, personalities, and shades of beauty carry evil.  
  Evil roams through countries, territories, states, counties, cities, large and small towns through people wanting chaos, creating fear and destruction. Countries fight battles to win treasures, land, people, ideas, resources, and freedom or cause despair. Evil disguises itself as fighting for good as it tears good apart. If you stand on the sidelines of life and watch evil overwhelm others, are you assisting the spread of evil? What can I do? I have fought evil most of my life from the shadows. Why is it so hard sometimes to have a life? I have combated evil by attempting to help all I encounter to obtain and maintain what they truly desire in life. Evil manifests by blocking what people need, want, and desire or providing paths leading to destruction, pain, death, or the opposite of what you should do. My philosophy is to unblock seemingly impossible pathways and free people to obtain their destiny by providing help to stay on the paths they were born to follow. Freedom started once I understood how to combat evil with good. While alive, this book is only for you. Your designated heir may read this book, and I hope you will write a book or two. There are secrets in this and a few other books, and I trust you to read them and keep their secrets undisclosed and safe. Enjoy the hope in others and the future. Jedediah Justin Davis, Sr.

As strikes rip the country apart and the news from abroad causes despair, matters build to a heart-rending crescendo. Tilly realises that for her the war may have ended, but the fight is just beginning...PRAISE
