  1. Franz Kafka's Diaries

    Franz Kafka Franz Kafka s Diaries, written in German language between 1910 1923, include casual observations, details of daily life, reflections on philosophical ideas, accounts of dreams, and ideas for stories. Kafka s diaries offer a detailed view of the writer s thoughts and feelings, as well as some of his most famous and quotable statements. Kafka began keeping the diaries at the age of 27, as an attempt to provoke his stalled creativity, and kept writing in them until 1923, a year before his death. These diaries were in the background all through the composition of Kafka s major works and many of them are discussed and analyzed in detail. The diaries offer an image of a profoundly depressed man, isolated from friends and family, involved in a series of failed relationships, and constantly sick. While this is certainly part of Kafka s character it is typical for a private journal, not meant for publication, to express more of the writer s anxieties and worries. The humor and light heartedness sometimes expressed in Kafka s fiction, as well as the generally positive image arising from recollections by friends and acquaintances, are missing from the diaries.

Grant producer Ruth Kenley Letts music Philip Appleby cinematography release 2003 distributor runtime 23 minutes country Film UK language English Franz Kafka s It s a Wonderful Life 1993 in film 1993 is a short comic film for BBC Scotland . It was written and directed by Peter Capaldi , it stars Richard E. Grant as Franz Kafka , and co stars Ken Stott . The title is a pun on the name of Czech author Franz Kafka and the film It s a Wonderful Life directed by Frank Capra , and the plot takes this aural amalgam to absurd lengths. The great writer is about to write his famous work, The Metamorphosis , but inspiration is lacking, and he suffers continual interruptions. In 1994 the film won a BAFTA award for Best Short Film.

  1. Alexandre Kafka

    Alexandre Kafka January 25, 1917 November 28, 2007 was an international economist mainly known for his work as an Executive Director in the International Monetary Fund . Biography Kafka was born in Prague , then part of the Austro Hungarian Empire . His father, Bruno Kafka, was a member of the parliament of Czechoslovakia and a second cousin of author Franz Kafka . He was educated in Geneva and Balliol College at Oxford University . The invasion of Czechoslovakia by Germany in 1939 pushed his family to emigrate, settling in Brazil in 1940, with Kafka becoming a Brazilian citizen. As Denis Healey , a contemporary at Balliol, would remember in his memoirs There were also in Balliol a handful of refugees from Central Europe, some of whom had to change their names. One kept his name but changed his nationality.
