Nicholas Murray, Kafka

[franzkavkas]

Although Kafka always claimed that he was not very good at his job, this was not the opinion of his employers, who promoted him several times. Like many writers in such a position who knew that their heart and soul are elsewhere, he may have been extra careful to discharge his duties diligently to avoid the charge of lack of commitment. An office colleague from this time, Alois Gütling, remembered him as tactful when handling people able to speak good office Czech, and much admired by his colleagues for his legal acumen. Another colleague, who joined the Institute several years later, when Kafka was becoming ill, V. K. Krofta, recalled his habitual reserve: "Through his build and his thoughtful abstractedness he made a very timid and a reticent impression; those around him considered him a kind of Don Quixote. He spoke an elegant literary Czech always with little pauses and the utmost concentration...He gesticulated vigorously when he wanted to emphasize his meagre sentences and words."

En realidad, entre los tres sólo existía la relación de ustedes dos. Desde el principio lo percibí; tus lágrimas me lo demostraron cuando escuchabas su voz. Yo, que soy uno, estaré eternamente agradecido por la felicidad que la mitad tuya me concedió de manera tan generosa.

From the Nicolas Murray Exhibition, Pera Museum

Don't miss this exhibition if you still have not seen it

This is the last 5 days of the beautiful two floor exhibition of Nicolas Murray in the Pera Museum in Istanbul.

We thought spring was here in Istanbul, however winter just came back. So, the best thing to do in this type of weather is to visit interesting exhibitions. 

If you still have not seen it, make sure you see the 1920s photographer Nicolas Murray's exhibition in Pera Museum.

You'll see many celebrity portraits and colorful commercial product shots. But also you will find out the relationship between Frida Kahlo and Nicolas Murray and see many unseen shots of Frida. 

You can combine this visit with lunch at Istanbul Culinary Institution which is almost right next door.
