Hardly anyone has spent as much time in health resorts as Franz Kafka. Since he was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis in 1917, he repeatedly went to sanatoriums for several weeks at a time to recuperate. There he came into contact with naturopathic practices, nudism, and ascetic lifestyles. In their "Kafka Revue," journalist Anne-Dore Krohn and ZDF literary guru Denis Scheck present some lesser-known facets of the Prague genius of the century and put common clichés to the test. Did you know that Franz Kafka discovered a vegetarian cookbook in a sanatorium, which he then used to guide his diet? (Cotton soup! Oven slips!) That it was Franz Kafka who invented the answering machine? And that, together with his friend Max Brod, he conceived a series of books that were something like the Lonely Planet travel guides of his time? An entertaining and surprising survey of the Kafka continent.
