    Brod himself is hugely underrated. People only seem interested in him as Related to Kafka and forget what a great writer he was in his own right. Ticho Brae is a wonderful book.

If... if feeling understood by a writer and finding one quote that resonates with you, is to be held by a hand that reaches out from the book (as I once read), then Kafka rarely ever let go of mine. From across the Internet, I'm glad you're someone who shares this love with me.

    Brod had such a poetic way of saying things he is view of Kafka is also completely nuanced compare to what some literary historians try to attribute to him, how blessed are we that there were still people alive to be interviewed in front of a camera that got to know perhaps one of the greaters writers ever.

    Brod's comment about the trial as a prophetic vision of the SS or SA made me think of the Metamorphosis as a vision of massive irrational prejudice that would turn K. into a vermin who suddently couldn't leave his room or go to work anymore. Excellent video, thanks!

    It is exactly as I pictured it after reading his letters to Milena. There is a difference between the man and the work, we cannot think he dreamt of opressive obscure bureaucracies every night...... but we also should not underestimate the fact he was in some way troubled, had fears, phobias, took everything the wrong way, etc, and this did affect his work.

I know Kafka bcs I'm from the Czech Republic and this year on 3rd June it's the 100th anniversary of Kafka's death..much was said and written about Kafka, but hearing how he was from someone who knew him in person is extraordinary.

    La verdad nunca me creí el cuento que Kafka haya pedido que se destruyera su obra. Él siempre estuvo interesado en publicar, primero en revistas y luego publicó 6 libros en 7 años, quién actualmente hace eso. Y estuvo además, poco antes de su muerte, trabajando incansablemente en la preparación de su 7mo libro. Ahora, ¿qué escritor quisiera publicar textos incompletos o sin terminar? Pues ninguno, allí tendría mucha razón en no querer que se publicara lo que finalmente se publicó contra su voluntad.

  • @nellyleonguerrerodecordova7422

    La "Carta a su padre" es la más terrible acusación contra un padre que yo haya leído. Franz no se daba cuenta de que había sido el niño mimado de una familia acomodada al que se le exigía un rendimiento. Encajar ese resentimiento contra el padre en una neurosis me parece una simplificación. Eso sí, la prosa de Kafka tiene esa misma fuerza de expresión que no se encuentra en otros escritores alemanes que lo enredan todo.
