Franz Kafka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Kafka also had some knowledge of French language and culture; one of his favorite authors was Flaubert, and he had a sentimental fondness for Napoleon. |
 | | While it is generally agreed that Kafka suffered from clinical depression and social anxiety throughout his entire life, he suffered from migraines, insomnia, constipation, boils, and other ailments, all usually brought on by excessive stresses and strains. |
 | | (Kafka's condition made his throat too painful to eat, and since intravenous therapy had not been developed, there was no way to feed him, notice the parallels to Gregor in the Metamorphosis.) His body was ultimately brought back to Prague where he was interred on June 11, 1924, in the New Jewish Cemetery in Prague-Žižkov. |
