Brod himself is hugely underrated. People only seem interested in him as Related to Kafka and forget what a great writer he was in his own right. Ticho Brae is a wonderful book.

I think he is fine with it. He, too, is obsessed with Kafka. :)

True enough, but without the connection to Kaka, Broad would now be forgotten.

@@umarlessgoooo Yes of course but what I meant was that Brod, before Kafka’s work was ever published, had already made a good name for himself in his own line of work. He already had a few of his own works published.

When you actually really read Kafka, not to analyse but to understand. You realise that the man was just extremely moral in his life. Felt everything very deeply and innocently. Am so glad for this interview!

Probably the first person from Gujarat, India to take interest in Kafka and his beloved frd Max.

I can't express how grateful I am that you translated this interview. Didn't even knew such thing as Brod talking about Kafka in front of a camera existed Thank you

I fall in love with Kafka over and over again every time I'm rereading his work

@@Sandrine_Damfino same, letters to Milena... I never knew a man could love like that. If... if feeling understood by a writer and finding one quote that resonates with you, is to be held by a hand that reaches out from the book (as I once read), then Kafka rarely ever let go of mine. From across the Internet, I'm glad you're someone who shares this love with me.

bless the interviewer for not interrupting this fabulous man.

Brod had such a poetic way of saying things he is view of Kafka is also completely nuanced compare to what some literary historians try to attribute to him, how blessed are we that there were still people alive to be interviewed in front of a camera that got to know perhaps one of the greaters writers ever.

Thank you, Max Brod, for not burning those masterpieces back then.

I really enjoyed this, it really brought Kafka to life to hear his great friend Max Brod talk about him. I feel I have a better understanding of Kafka as a person and that his life was far less miserable than I used to think. make him seem a lot more , Thanks for your efforts in translating and posting it for all.

This is an amazing piece of history. Anyone who wants to know Kafka more must watch this video.

it is such a joy to find this video and listen to the man who was the closest human being to kafka during his earthly life

It is exactly as I pictured it after reading his letters to Milena. There is a difference between the man and the work, we cannot think he dreamt of opressive obscure bureaucracies every night...... but we also should not underestimate the fact he was in some way troubled, had fears, phobias, took everything the wrong way, etc, and this did affect his work.

The most real love letters ever written

This interview is pure gold, thank you

To think that but for miniscule chance, I might never have heard this wonderful interview, and, but for Max Brod none of us might ever have read Kafka

Tolles Gespräch! Es ist ein Buch wert.

I really hope that someone told Brod that he did the right thing in doing what he did. A lot of people gave him shit for it I feel. He knew Franz better than anyone and loved him very much. I'd straight up be fucking honored to have a friend love me that much.

Brod's comment about the trial as a prophetic vision of the SS or SA made me think of the Metamorphosis as a vision of massive irrational prejudice that would turn K. into a vermin who suddently couldn't leave his room or go to work anymore. Excellent video, thanks!

Thank you for sharing this important interview

Thank you for sharing. If this is a excerpt, is there any way I could watch the full interview? And are there other on-camera interviews of Max Brod or any of his contemporaries about Franz Kafka? Thanks again.

So very grateful, thank you.

i am doing a thorough analysis of kafka for my literature project. this helped me so much

It has been a long time since I was so riveted by anything that wasn't music. Thank You.

Thank you for your effort!

Last century was Kafka century and -guess what - this century is also Kafka century for me. Any guesses for the next century?

La "Carta a su padre" es la más terrible acusación contra un padre que yo haya leído. Franz no se daba cuenta de que había sido el niño mimado de una familia acomodada al que se le exigía un rendimiento. Encajar ese resentimiento contra el padre en una neurosis me parece una simplificación. Eso sí, la prosa de Kafka tiene esa misma fuerza de expresión que no se encuentra en otros escritores alemanes que lo enredan todo.

I read all of Kafka ....someone explain the burrow....what was that ....it bothered me ...actually all of Kafka bothers me....
