Yaroslav Ron Biography
Invisible man in Prague or a strange kafka. In a selection of the author: Czech Republic 25 4 minutes today decided to take a walk in the Jewish quarter of Prague. Yes, there is such a district in the city where the synagogue is located, the old Jewish cemetery, many jewelry stores are a traditional Jewish lesson, beautiful buildings and, of course, a strange monument to the no less strange writer Frances Kafka.
Today I will write to you about the monument that I belong to the category of strange monuments of Prague. It is cast from bronze. This is a relatively new monument opened in December. Height - 3 meters 75 cm. Why is it strange? Monument to French Kafka. Franz Kafka is a well -known Czech in some sources -the Austrian writer of the early 20th century of Jewish origin, which wrote in German.
A strange combination ... a Jew who lived in the Czech Republic, but for some reason wrote in German. Franz Kafka Franz Kafka his work is even more strange than his biography or monuments dedicated to him. Not everyone is understandable and sympathetic. I tried to read it, but it did not work. I am a bird not his flight. I admit and give up. But in the Czech Republic he is remembered and honored.
And not only in the Czech Republic. Many in the world heard about him, and some even read. I bow to them and admire them! Monument to Franz Kafka in Prague. I stood in front of the monument for a long time, trying to understand what he expressed? Then, honestly admitted to herself that since I did not understand his work, I could not understand his monument. I surrendered, and returning home, after all, began to delve on the Internet.
You won’t believe it, dear readers, but it seems that this monument is not understood not only those who have not read Kafka, but also those who read and are well acquainted with his work. The monument has so many different interpretations, however, like all other strange monuments of Prague, that I got the impression that either his readers did not understand their idol at all, or the author of the monument, which, obviously, is also a fan of the writer, has his own special perception of Kafka's work.
In a word, there is a lot of opinions and it all depends on your personal perception, your knowledge of Kafka’s creativity, your imagination and fantasy of guides, trying to attract the attention of tourists in all ways. Monument to French Kafka in Prague. I suggest you use your imagination and think what this monument expresses. Kafka proudly sits on the shoulders of an empty costume or not empty, but simply on the shoulders of an invisible man, this is how you like and indicates the invisibility where to go.
Invisible humans have no feet. It seems that he was bogged down in the pavement in the pavement. It is difficult for him to go, but led by the writer, takes a step forward. So he still has a body and this is not just an empty suit. And how can you sit on an empty jacket? Still, this is an invisible man. So, he was painful with a sophisticated kafka, suffered from the constant headaches of Kafka syndrome, suffered anorexia starvation due to tuberculosis and could not swallow the throat sitting on a huge invisible man and indicates the way forward.
The giant hardly rearranges his legs, he clearly stuck in something. And then and then maybe it is better to ask the author? I turn again to the bastard of Google. Invisible man in Prague? Personally, Yaroslav Rona did not write about his plan and wrote anything, but informed people say that the author’s idea is that you need to get out over yourself, sit on your own shoulders, look from a height at yourself and the surrounding world.
My question is: why is a smart kafka sitting on the shoulders of a giant? Inferiority complex? I do not accept the version. Another version is a scene from the work of Kafka “America”, where some politician sits on the shoulders of a giant man, pacing along the streets of New York. Soaaaaaaaae, they will still make me read at least “America” ... I found “America” on the Internet and thought to read it and only then finish the article, but the work was not short, and I changed my mind to read it now.
Today I will finish the article, and then I will read the story or novel and will already write about my opinion about the monument and about Kafka itself. In the meantime, only questions: why does this giant have no head and hands in the coat? Why is a man’s costume so large, and Kafka is so small? Why are the “hands” bent at the costume? Does he go to the touch? Why is he in the ground in the ground?
Connected in modern bustle and chaos and cannot go out yourself? And Kafka himself knows how to go on the right road? There are many questions. Answers and assumptions are even more. In a word, you will be in Prague, be sure to go to the Jewish quarter and look at the strange monument to Kafka. Ah, yes! I almost forgot! Be sure to rub the shoes on the legs of Kafka!
See how they shine? Guides inspire tourists that if you rub them well, you will soon see all of Europe or pitch half the European Europe. I recalled a joke about Genghis Khan. Tourists are all as one, just in case, touch the shoes of the writer. And the locals only giggle over the gullible foreigners. Let them laugh! Just in case, I will also touch. But the goal is not Europe, although there was a couple of countries where it has not yet been.
Now I am interested in the East!And the east, as you know, is subtle ... And what do you think about this monument? Are there any ideas?
