Before his death, Franz Kafka ordered Max Brod to burn all his remaining writings. Brod, not only did he not fulfill his friend's request, but in 1939 he took Kafka's manuscripts with him and brought them to Israel. Since then he devoted the rest of his life to editing the writings and distributing them. In fact, by betraying his friend's will, he saved Kafka's legacy from destruction.
