Il seguente lavoro ha l’intenzione di analizzare la vita e alcuni scritti di Franz Kafka in relazione al suo contesto familiare e culturale nella Praga ebraica del primo Novecento. Questo studio esamina come l'esperienza di crescita in una famiglia ebrea praghese influenzò profondamente la visione del mondo e la produzione letteraria dello scrittore tedesco, con un focus particolare sul ruolo del padre, Hermann Kafka, e delle sorelle, Ottilie, Valerie e Gabriele, nella sua vita. Attraverso un'analisi di alcune opere chiave e di alcuni scambi epistolari con le sorelle, questo lavoro esplora come Kafka integrò le sue esperienze familiari, la sua identità ebraica e le tensioni culturali dell'epoca nella sua narrativa. Si mette in evidenza il rapporto complesso con il padre, figura autoritaria e dominante nella vita di Kafka, e come questo rapporto si riflette nelle dinamiche dei personaggi nelle sue opere. Inoltre, si esamina il ruolo delle sorelle nel sostegno e nell'influenza sulla sua vocazione letteraria. Questo lavoro fornisce un'illuminante prospettiva su come le radici culturali, familiari e le relazioni personali possano plasmare la creatività e la visione di un grande scrittore, offrendo un approfondimento unico nella vita e nell'opera di Franz Kafka.

Abstract
The current paper intends to analyze the life and some writings of Franz Kafka in relation to his family and cultural context in early 20th century Jewish Prague. This study examines how the experience of growing up in a Prague Jewish family profoundly influenced the German writer's worldview and literary output, with a particular focus on the role of his father, Hermann Kafka, and sisters, Ottilie, Valerie and Gabriel, in his life. Through an analysis of some key works and some correspondence exchanges with his sisters, this paper explores how Kafka integrated his family experiences, his Jewish identity and the cultural tensions of the time into his works. This paper highlitghts the complex relationship between Kafka and his his father, a dominant authority figure in Kafka's life, and how this relationship is reflected in the dynamics of the characters in his works. In addition this studey examines the sisters' role in supporting and influencing Kafka's literary vocation. This work provides an illuminating perspective on how cultural roots, family and personal relationships can shape the creativity and vision of a great writer, offering a unique insight into the life and work of Franz Kafka.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
