 | Prague Franz Kafka's Prague Reviews | 1 - 10 of 34 |  |
Kafka is certainly one of Prague?s more famous sons, so it seemed appropriate that there is a museum dedicated to his life and work focused on Prague. As Kafka is a variation from the norm, so is the museum. For starters there is the unusual rotating statue urinating in a pool in front of the entrance. The inside is divided into two sections, ?Existential Space? and ?Imaginary Topography.? The museum has an impressive colledction of his drawings, photographs, manuscripts, letters, and diaries as well as first editions of all Kafka?s works. There are also 3-D installations and audiovisuals with soundtrack created for this exhibit. It is one of the more creative museums I have seen as it does seem to give you some of the ?existential? feel for Kafka and his city. There are lots of things related to Kafka in Prague, including his home and the building where his father?s clothing business was located. I recommend this museum to give you good intro to his life.

Not only in the library and bookshops but also all around Prague will you find trailmarks of one of the biggest writer of the past century
Next to one of the synagogues in the Jewish quarter a large statue of Franz was erect , depicting one of his characters.
In the beginning of the Golden Lane you'll find the house of Kafka, well actually he just stayed a few months here with his sister, but it sells
The house is installed like a museum, with artefacts, costumes and weapons of the middle-ages. In the back end you can even shoot some crossbow.
Frans Kafka was a Czech-born German-speaking writer who only became famous posthumously with his novels expressing the alienation of 20th century man, more precisely dehumanization, bureaucratic labyrinths, and totalitarian society . Kafkaesque characters are trademarks of his writing. His health issues added other issues like fear of physical and mental collapse in his stories.
Kafka admitted in Letter to His Father (1919) : "My writing was all about you; all I did there, after all, was to bemoan what I could not bemoan upon your breast. It was an intentionally long-drawn-out leave-taking from you."
The Castle and The Trial ( or lack of trial as he describes so well) remain his 2 most famous novels.
In 1924 Kafka died of TBC. Leave a Comment

 Kafka's house in the Golden
Lane in Prague by globetrott
A small inscription on the right shows his name.
You may walk the Golden Lane freely and without entrance fee after 04.00 p.m., BUT all the shops will be closed then, and so you may see the buildings only from outside.
On the other hand, you are able to take pics with an almost empty street. Leave a Comment

 Kafka Statue, Prague by FlamegirlLeave a Comment

 Did Kafka consider himself
Kafkaesque? by ExGuyParis
Kafkaesque:
1. Of or relating to Franz Kafka or his writings. 2. Marked by surreal distortion and often a sense of impending danger: “Kafkaesque fantasies of the impassive interrogation, the false trial, the confiscated passport . . . haunt his innocence.” (New Yorker).
--The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000
Prague is a Kafkaesque city. You can visit a number of houses that Franz Kafka lived in.
Watch out for cockroaches.
Kafka is burried in the New Jewish Cemetery. Leave a Comment
