Franz Kafka memorial Prague

Jaroslav Rona

author Kafka was born in Prague

 

From the guidebook -

"This interesting metal statue by sculptor Jaroslav Rona is based on a vivid description that appears in Franz Kafka's early short story "Description of a Struggle." Kafka wrote of a young man riding on another man's shoulders through the streets of Prague. In Rona's work, that figure is Kafka himself sitting astride a headless man. "

 

This bronze statue was unveiled in December 2003. It

stands next to the Spanish Synagogue in Prague's Jewish Quarter
