What makes this a treasure?
The Metamorphosis is one of the key works of modern literature because it’s one that resists complete explanation… The Kafka collection deserves to count among the Bodleian’s treasures because it is the work of one of the greatest authors of modern European writing and also because of the peculiar, adventurous way that it arrives in Oxford so far from the place where it was written and so far from the place where, for some time, it was kept.
