[BaronBanahaw]

Son of Submariner!!!!

[Miroslavbuho]

El poseer no existes,existe solamente el ser.. ese ser que aspira hasta el ultimo aliento,hasta la asfixia...me kanta senor Kavka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[darcon81]

Dude, I made a folk tribute to Kafka and other great troubled artists. it's called the broken and the beautiful.

[LaMagaRouge]

@darcon81 damn! excellent name "the broke and the beautiful" sounds like the sad part of the history of everyone

[adrianvino]

handsome knee grow.

[Piracy210]

just so everyone knows my last name is Kafka. and yes i am a related to him.

[Noxicoe]

And where is Max Brod???

Čas který Kafka strávil s těmito ženami je jenom kapka v moři času který strávil s Maxem Brodem.

[MrMARI73]

Hermoso video, gracias

[Dvoracekmara]

Ano, ne každý má pěkný život.. lidi se o to zajímají stejně až inmemoria..Nice vid!

[TheRoseanne58]

Today it is the third of July. Happy Birthday,dear Franz Kafka, and thank you so much for all the great literary work you leave us!

[Leyla1952]

I read all the books from Kafka, it is very difficult but I like it. I know some people they give up reading. He was very complicated person and most the time sick and he die very young age.

[GetMeThere1]

Who is the woman @ 1:50 ? To me, she looks like Kafka. A relative?

[albertdiner]

@GetMeThere1

Milena Jesenska.. A woman who had a close relationship to Kafka in his last years.

[GetMeThere1]

@albertdiner : Thnx

[zazzaezazza]

@GetMeThere1 Milena Jesenska !

[DanielSahne]

Stop argueing about Kafkas nationality. He was part of the german-speaking minority in Prague and of jewish descent. Surely he would be disgusted by either side claiming him as their own.

[sstyblo]

@DanielSahne I don't get it; you think he'd be disgusted if Germans, Czechs or Jews claimed him as their own?

[Dolgaz]

it's twice the same...

[abxurd]

HE IS IN LOVEEEEEEE

[rongrelio]

En estos tiempos que diria Kafka de lo que acontece.

[sonderkommando2]

skönt!  ghaaa yaa fint!

[PolarBeamz]

Besides Hamsun and perhaps Dostojevski, he's our first modernist, along with Hamsun, of corse :)

[Yen7584]

He is the greatest German writer of our time

[sstyblo]

@Yen7584  CZECH CZECH CZECH CZECH!

[Yen7584]

I know. But he wrote in German

[Yen7584]

i love this song. Im researching Kafka's works. He is one of the most famous, special and important author in 20th century

[IngridAtenea]

TE AMO KAFKA!!!

I LOVE YOU KAFKA!!!

[amirhamra]

Dear Franz, how can i forget you ,you who echoed my fears during the war days and the sound of the bombs...Love.

[ksito2009]

His ears are big that is why I love him.

[roederroerig]

Ganz toll, optisch und akustisch

[BlancheSolitude]

Франц Кафка.

Любовь моей жизни.

Спасибо.

[albertdiner]

удовольствие

[BlancheSolitude]

Si desde el principio hubiese sabido que Usted es de Venezuela, se lo habría dicho en español.

Un saludo desde España! =)

(Es tan bonito saber que a Kafka le quieren por todos los rinconcitos del mundo...)

[albertdiner]

Gracias. Mi audiencia es internacional

y trato de contestarles en su lengua

natal, con la ayuda de mi diccionario

online.

[badibona]

Very good

[ivystorm94]

Kafka is cute.

[BlahBlahYouWho]

He would beg to differ.

[ivystorm94]

what do you mean?

[BlahBlahYouWho]

Based on the personal writings he has left behind, he would disagree with your statement.

[marcriganoskate]

blah blah blah, you sound like a robot.

[BlahBlahYouWho]

Funny you should say that because, I am, in fact, an automaton of the highest order.

[marcriganoskate]

Pompounesian: It came to me in passing, the question of whether or not you yourself are a writer.

English: hi, do you write or anything (the stuff you say on your page is interesting)?

[english sounds more natural, don't ya think? either way, the question is serious]

[BlahBlahYouWho]

Original Text: I am an amatuer of literature, yes. Though I must say I do not hold myself as even an infintismal consideration of Kafka's esteemed work.

Alta-Vista Translation: What good knock parl is not fish command, Tim. Nicht commits on losage foil Kafka nibble.

[marcriganoskate]

can i read some?

[Friedenstaube1984]

He was cute, and he knew that. The cutest jew ever ;)

[BlahBlahYouWho]

I think that distinction has already been given to Jake Gyllenhaal.

[Friedenstaube1984]

What do you mean? Which distinction???

[BlahBlahYouWho]

Cutest Jew Ever, I believe. By reckoning, I should think he was given that acalade very recently.

[Friedenstaube1984]

Kafka is much more cuter ;))))))))))

[BlahBlahYouWho]

An acredited academy of judges believe otherwise.

[Friedenstaube1984]

I don`t care about this academy. I have always been a K.-fan, and one night in 2007 I dreamt about he and me meeting each other during nazi time. I was his german Juliet and he my jewish Romeo and ...*schmacht* But gestapo caught him during our balcony scene- they beated him up and I jumped off the balcony. But before I landed I woke up screaming... And thats why he will always be the cutest jew for me- I'm sure you can understand me now... My poor Franz!

[BlahBlahYouWho]

Far be it for me to contradict your own dreams, then. May the nights in Prague be beautiful.

[Friedenstaube1984]

Prague? Why Prague?? I am not from Prague...

[BlahBlahYouWho]

Neither am I. So that leaves only one other person who may, coincidentally, have lived in Prague his entire life.

[Friedenstaube1984]

However, I had another K.-dream last night (really!) which did not take place in Prague, but once again somewhere in nazi germany. this dream was even more strange than the last one- completly irrational. I was walking through a busy street singing "Oh yes it is true I am in love with a jew." How could I do such a stupid thing? Normally I may be a little bit crazy but definitely not stupid! Now everybody knew about my forbidden relationship with K.

[BlahBlahYouWho]

It is said that love may only exist between irrational beings. Kafka wrote of faceless, placid, mindless acceptance and that is a kind of madness. You, under the fever of dreams, screamed your forbidden desire at clay-footed puppets of violence.

You stated it clearly, tell me what you think it truly is?

[Friedenstaube1984]

Ok, so let's see whether I understand you correctly ;) What I did in this dream- admitting openly that I've been violating the nuremberg laws by loving a jewish guy- is exactly the opposite of what the kafka protagonists do in his oeuvre? They accept the law placidly while I am revolting? And thats why K. and I are "irrational beeings" which can love each other? Hm, that's possible. But in the dreams, K. is in extreme danger because of my childish behavior. I think you know...

[BlahBlahYouWho]

I do.

[Friedenstaube1984]

...you know, what happened to jews having a sexual relationship with "aryan" women? How can I risk that my lover is taken to a concentration camp or- in the worst case- even executed?

[BlahBlahYouWho]

Some love demands risk. It would, in my opinion, be boring without at least the suggestion of danger. Then again it does help to choose excitement wisely.

[Friedenstaube1984]

Yes, of course, danger can be exciting. But such a forbidden love is per se exiting enough; actually, I don`t have to tell everyone about this and expose my lover to such a danger in order to make it more exciting... :-((((

[Friedenstaube1984]

You seem to be an understandig person; can you please explain me why I `ve been having those dreams since I know about kafka????

[DerowEgen]

"Friedenstaube", dir ist schon klar, dass du nen ziemlichen Dachschaden hast ?!! ;-)

[Friedenstaube1984]

Ich steh dazu. ;)

[marcriganoskate]

"blah" just wants to make an ass of itself

[IngridAtenea]

AMO A KAFKA!!!!

[Mrsrockgirl]

Such ugly women...

I think that this is the rason he didn't get married...osakoskaoska

He was kilt at the age oh 18..

he could married with a pretty lady...

[BlahBlahYouWho]

Come now, such a shallow glance surely does not perform justice to these wonderfully charming women.

[vAmvIRiTa]

I love Franz Kafka!!!

[BAUERANDBENTLE]

Thank you for your speedy reply . How can I download the song for you ? I can give you a hard copy by mail of the song .

For some reason the song won't go thru as a mp3 .

If I send you a hard copy it will sound the best . Or you can download it on the itunes or Amazonmp3 BAUER AND BENTLE

I HOPE YOU WILL HEAR IT . IT WAS INTENDED FOR WILLIE NELSON TO SING . THANK YOU MUCH STEPHEN BAUER

[BAUERANDBENTLE]

Me again . Bauer and bentle is my recording name . I would like to see if you can do a video for one of my songs titled WHISPER IN THE WIND . It is a song about a soldier looking in the water as he see's a blur image of his wife , knowing he will never see her again . Please go to itunes - BAUER AND BENTLE .THANKS STEPHEN BAUER

[albertdiner]

Thank you for your comments. I saw your Song

for Anne Frank video, and I found it well done. It takes me a very long time to combine

the images and the effects to create a mood.

I think that such a song must have special

effects to create the feeling of the soldier

for his wife. Can you upload the song with

just one image ?

[bauersongwriting]

As a song writer composer , I can feel a deep sense of love . A love that will return in the New World ,when love will be perfected and the tears will become joyful . A beautiful song .

This is what I tried to capture in the song SONG FOR ANNE FRANK . It is a very good video . Thank You very much

[kanashiimurakamisan]

Oops, sorry about typos. Meant: "A good tribute"... "Kafka's greatest..." I strongly urge anyone unfamiliar with his outstanding work to check it out!

[kanashiimurakamisan]

A goog tribute to a great writer. Kafka greatest love affair was undoubtedly with his brilliant writing & affairs with women were relatively few. Some of these probably weren't even consummated & remained a source of perpetual angst to him. Sadly, shortly after overcoming some of his demons & settling down with the young Dora Dymant in Berlin, tuberculosis robbed him of any lasting happiness. He died aged 40.

[AnnaInPain]

He was definitely not gay! He didn't know how to reconcile marriage and art, love and literature... He was very sensitive, quite melancholic but also a very sensual man who commanded a lot of humor! In my opinion he is the greatest artist of all ages and I love his work as well as Hesse's poems and novels.

It's such a sad song!

[lithiumgaurd]

But Kafka was gay...

[EvaKafka]

i guess, you are...

[KafkaCrow]

I'm not sure that I really understand Kafka's work, but it has a really powerful quality and you can interpret it in many ways. He's great, and nice video!

[kafkaphony1]

I hate everyone.

[hades15000]

hey that guy has my last name

[senfmitbrot]

this guy was brilliant!!!

[skeletonbite]

holy crap I didn't know he was a soprano.

[madelinefauchelevant]

Imagine having a dude with issues like him after you...

[jeannevdb]

Love the music!

[dagordoncito]

Hermosa canción, triste y melancólica historia.Gran composición. Mis felicitaciones, desde Buenos Aires, Argentina.

[penmaya0]

This is great sung! I love the way the barry sisters singing that sung!!!!!!!!!!!

[hvolsvellir]

Thanks! Didn't know about that other trial.

[crRrRikey]

beautyful presentation and very beautyful music ;)..good work

[VeztheFez]

He had many complexes about his physicality but I think he is very handsome. Poor guy

[Paolom86]

@VeztheFez He was indeed, his face is so strange and ordinary, is a mixture of strange beauy. Kafka will be always in our bonds and minds... Kafka We honore you always, ever, for ever... Laraaaa lararíiiiii

[jurek46pink]

Thank you for all this story as well as the portraits, most of them were to me unknown.

It was nice also to look at Prague (visited 3 years ago).

[velvetblu]

Probably he was gay...

[VeztheFez]

That's a bit farfetched

[chavah7337]

Thank you for Franz Kafka's biography set so beautifully to video and Yiddish music. Thank you, especially, for not letting the wonderful Yiddish culture not die with the Nazis!

[albertdiner]

"You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her"
