The crow flew into the shot just as I was about to leave.

A bit of blue fire set against orange fire. Kafka, upon his death, wanted his friend Max Brod to burn all of his work. Thankfully for us, Brod didn't.

As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect.

—from "The Metamorphosis," by Franz Kafka (translated from German by Willa & Edwin Muir)

"Studying with Kafka". Franz Kafka's famous work "The Metamorphosis" is about a man who wakes to find himself turned into a giant beetle. In it, we consider the power of transformation. We see our own transformation one wrinkle at a time, but what if it happened overnight? Often, it does. Circumstances change, people leave, and if you're like me, you consider your own mortality an alarming amount. Sometimes I feel I change as often as the sun rises.

I'm 34 years old. My hair isn't gray yet. My skin isn't wrinkled. I see myself in three parts, all mingled: the way I was, the way I am, the way I will be. When my life ends, I'll be remembered as the culmination of all those moments. Minute transformations.

In this image: a circle to show the cycle of life. Beetles to represent transformation and mortality. A tulle dress and innocent braids to show the softness of youth. A beautiful portrait set against the grotesque.

The 42 mobile tiers of this eleven-metre-tall sculpture align to form the face of the famous Czech writer Franz Kafka. This 39-ton bust by artist David Černý dates from November 2014 and stands just by the Quadrio business centre, directly above the Národní třída metro station.

Blur Kafka

You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

I have the true feeling of myself only when I am unbearably unhappy.

kafka and woodcuts were pretty much made for each other.

After selling his crocodile farm Bubba took up literature. After extensive research and thorough analysis

he claimed that Shakespeare is a pen name used by Kafka , the real author of Romeo and Juliet and other masterpieces attributed to William Shakespeare .
