In stunning words and pictures, \u003ci\u003eEinstein in Kafkaland\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the untold story of how their worlds wove together in a cosmic battle for new kinds of truth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor Einstein, his lost year in Prague became a critical bridge set him on the path to what many consider the greatest scientific discovery of all time, his General Theory of Relativity. And for Kafka, this charmed year was a bridge to writing his first masterpiece, The Judgment. Based on diaries, lectures, letters, and papers from this period amid a planet electrifying itself into modernity, \u003ci\u003eEinstein in Kafkaland\u003c\/i\u003e brings to life the emergence of a new world where art and science come together in ways we still grapple with today.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKen Krimstein \u003c\/b\u003ehas published cartoons in the\u003ci\u003e New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePunch\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, and more.
