«Os leopardos de Kafka» is the novel by Moacyr Scliar, published by Companhia das Letras in paperback (117 pages, in Portuguese).
In 1916, Benjamin Kantarovitch leaves his Jewish village in Russia to carry out a secret mission for Trotsky in Prague. By mistake he reaches Franz Kafka, who gives him a text that the young man reads as a coded message. The confusions chain on until Brazil in 1964. A tragicomic comedy about literature and revolution.
The novel is part of the Literatura ou Morte collection, of which it is the fifth volume.
For readers of narrative fiction interested in Brazilian literature and in Kafka's universe.
Moacyr Jaime Scliar was a Brazilian writer and physician. Most of his writing centers on issues of Jewish identity in the Diaspora and particularly on being Jewish in Brazil.
