Abstract: | In current research on the work of Franz Kafka, war issues occur rather incidentally.
In the presented article, the Author points out the omission of kafkology
and tries to indicate possible directions of belumic interpretation. The sketch for
Kafka’s war portrait is inspired by the short story Fratricide. The text, which shows
the inspiration of the biblical story of Cain and Abel, is a beginning of Kafka’s thinking about a world determined by violence, controlled by a bloody conflict.
The first assassination is a prototype of mass destruction, war and genocide. Kafka
seems to have subordinated his future feature projects on the subject of war. The
author of the article postulates the reading of Kafka’s books as texts about war, not
only about the metaphorical one but also the real one. |
