Well, as you can guess
by the picture my favorite writter is Franz Kafka. He was born in 1883 in the
Austria - Hungary and died in 1924 in Austria. Perhaps the most famous of his
writings is "The Metamorphosis", however it is possible to highlight
others such as "The process", "The trees", "The way
home", "The castle", among many others. In the literary style of
kafka it is possible to find elements of existentialism as well as
expressionism, as well as a strong critical content as well as psychological
analysis (at least from my point of view).
This author is
particularly relevant to me because of the theoretical relationship that can be
made with the Frankfurt school, based on the critical reading of his texts. So
you can make, for example, an analogy between becoming an insect and the
alienation that the capitalist system provokes on the human being.
As a curious fact,
Kafka always preferred the vegetarian and naturist diet, so he used to drink a
lot of unpasteurized milk. However today it is believed that this consumption
of milk without pasturizing was what produced the tuberculosis that would end
his life in 1924. It is currently considered that Kafka may have had the
syndrome of "schizoid personality disorder", which eventually could
influence your particular way of reading.


Kafka is great!
ResponderBorrarHis books leave you thinking for a long time.
I would like to add that a large part of Kafka's work is influenced by the bad relationship he had with his father.
