Franz Kafka (1883-1924)

 

Franz Kafka was born in 1883, the 3rd of July, so it has recently been his 125th anniversary birth.

His unique body of writing—much of which is incomplete and was mainly published posthumously—is among the most influential in Western Literature.

When I was in Prague, a couple of years ago, I visited his tomb, and it was plenty of flowers and stones ( Jewish tradition ). It was great to see that he has not been forgotten, and his work and person are immortals.

 

 


"Well, my little daughter, in a beautiful morning, that will be marked with a rose ribbon in my life's book, Philippe, the last valet of my grandmother, and a lady in waiting came from Paris to bring me with then. "

"Ahora bien, hijita mía, en una hermosa mañana que quedará marcada con una cinta de color rosa en el libro de mi vida, llegaron de París una señorita de compañía y Philippe, el último camarero de mi abuela, con encargo de llevarme consigo."

Honore de Balzac (Memoirs of two young married women/Historia de dos jóvenes casadas)
