Franz Kafka was a major novelist and short story writer. While he left a large body of work, he had requested it be destroyed upon his death. Fortunately, that did not happen. Instead, much of it has been published posthumously. The most famous and well known of these writings are most likely The Metamorphosis and The Trial. Many artists now create elaborate pieces of horrific or nightmarish art now known as kafkaesque art.
Much of this art known as kafkaesque has taken on a horrific, nightmarish effect. Most likely due to the writer's work having delved into the problems of society at the time. As many of the same problems like capitalism and corporate greed still face the world today, it is often said that Kafka was truly insightful and prophetic.
The majority of Kafka's work draws a comparison between concerns and current events at the time. He seem to portray a belief in most of his work that the world was not only void of meaning but also malevolent toward the individual. His overall belief about society being that most people were mean and menacing due to this new era of greed and capitalism.
The majority of his work draws a strong comparison between current events and concerns and the individual's relation to society. Franz believed, or at least seem to portray a belief that the world was not only void of meaning but also malevolent toward the individual. The writer also provided the ideology that society is less than hospitable and is overall menacing.
While at Charles University, the writer focused on multiple areas of study. These interests being chemistry, law, science and English. Later, he became involved with a literary group at the school which ignited his interest in writing. He also believed that with the varied knowledge he would gain, there would have more career opportunities than if we were to have only focused on one area of study.
The writer delved into a lot of different interests in his personal and professional life. His educational experience includes a focus in chemistry, law, science and English. One reason for his varied interests being that the more he knew, the better career opportunities he would most likely have in the future.
At that time, writers were known more as hobbyists than having a career in the field. While this is still the case for some, most published writers are considered to have a career in the area. Sadly, for Franz Kafka, while known as one of the most prolific writers of his time, it appears he did not see English, or writing as a solid career choice which could stand on its own.
Like many artists, he suffered from anxiety and depression. While having a somewhat negative belief in medicine, he did try a number of different natural treatments. One in particular, which is thought to have possibly been the reason for the tuberculosis was the large amount of unpasteurized milk he drank during his lifetime. While this may have been the case, it is also believed a vegetarian diet most likely being the reason he lived as long as he did, even after the tuberculosis diagnosis.
