In addition, the German-language students included prominent individuals such as future writers Max Brod, Franz Kafka, and Johannes Urzidil.

Before his death, Franz Kafka wrote to his friend and literary executor Max Brod: " Dearest Max, my last request: Everything I leave behind me ... in the way of diaries, manuscripts, letters ( my own and others '), sketches, and so on, to be burned unread.

" Brod overrode Kafka's wishes, believing that Kafka had given these directions to him, specifically, because Kafka knew he would not honour them – Brod had told him as much.

Unlike Kafka, Brod rapidly became a prolific, successful published writer who eventually published 83 titles.

Brod first met Kafka on October 23, 1902, when both were students at Charles University.

From then on, Brod and Kafka met frequently, often even daily, and remained close friends until Kafka's death.

During Kafka's lifetime, Brod tried repeatedly to reassure him of his writing talents, of which Kafka was chronically doubtful.

Brod pushed Kafka to publish his work, and it is probably owing to Brod that he began to keep a diary.

Although Brod was instructed by Kafka to destroy all his works on his death, he did not and set about publishing Kafka's writings.

Interested in his lectures were among others Max Brod, Franz Kafka and Felix Weltsch.

In later writings, he described the creative outburst of " The Judgment " as “ the total opening of body and soul ,” as well as saying that “ the story evolved as a true birth, covered with filth and slime .” Kafka viewed the work as “ one of his most successful and perfect literary creations ” which he was able to write in a “ semi-unconscious state of mind .” Kafka was incredibly enthusiastic after the work, and talked to his good friend, Max Brod, who edited and published much of his work.

Authors to mention are Oskar Baum, Max Brod, Franz Kafka, the journalist Egon Erwin Kisch, Gustav Meyrink, Robert Musil, Rainer Maria Rilke, Franz Werfel, and Oskar Wiener.

His best friends from Prague to Israel were Franz Kafka, who was a schoolmate of his, the philosopher Felix Weltsch, who later also worked in the University Library of Jerusalem, and Max Brod, who was introduced by Bergman into Zionism as early as before 1910.

Because the town was originally founded by Smil of Lichtenburk, Brod's original name was Smilův Brod ( Ford of Smil or Smilford ).

After Kafka's death in 1924 his friend and literary executor Max Brod edited the text for publication by Verlag Die Schmiede.

Thus he travelled to Prague in September 1911 with his friend Kurt Szafranski in order to surprise his favorite author Max Brod with a visit and a model landscape that he had made himself.

Brod prodded his friend to complete the project several years later, but the effort was in vain.

On separate occasions he told his friend Max Brod of two different conditions: K., the book's protagonist, would continue to reside and die in the village ; the castle notifying him on his death bed that his " legal claim to live in the village was not valid, yet, taking certain auxiliary circumstances into account, he was permitted to live and work there ", but then on 11 September 1922 in a letter to Max Brod, he said he was giving up on the book and would never return to it.

Written between 1907 and 1908, three fragments with missing pages have survived, and, as with most of Kafka's work, they were published after his death by his friend Max Brod.

" What gives added weight to the obvious double meaning of Verkehr is Kafka's confession to his friend and biographer Max Brod that when he wrote that final line, he was thinking of " a violent ejaculation.

Robert Musil wrote the well-known novel The Man without Qualities, Stefan Zweig published a multitude of essays, stories and novels, Karl Kraus edited the magazine Die Fackel ( The Torch ), for which he wrote almost all articles by himself, Franz Werfel wrote some of his best novels, e. g. The Forty Days of Musa Dagh which narrates the Armenian tragedy of 1915, and after Franz Kafka's death, his life-time friend Max Brod began to publish Kafka's unfinished novels.

In the beginning of 1099, Coloman allied himself with his cousins, Duke Svatopluk of Moravia and Duke Otto II of Olomouc against Duke Břetislav II of Bohemia, but he had a meeting, on 29 May, with Břetislav II on the so-called Lucko Field ( near present Uherský Brod ) where they made a peace.

Der Sturm published poetry and prose from contributors such as Peter Altenberg, Max Brod, Richard Dehmel, Alfred Döblin, Anatole France, Knut Hamsun, Arno Holz, Karl Kraus, Selma Lagerlöf, Adolf Loos, Heinrich Mann, Paul Scheerbart, and René Schickele, and writings, drawings, and prints by such artists as Kokoschka, Kandinsky, and members of Der blaue Reiter.

Together with these long hymns, odes and elegies – which included " Der Archipelagus " (" The Archipelago "), " Brod und Wein " (" Bread and Wine ") and " Patmos " – he also cultivated a crisper, more concise manner in epigrams and couplets, and in short poems like the famous " Hälfte des Lebens " (" The Middle of Life ").

Max Brod ( Hebrew: מקס ברוד ) ( May 27, 1884, Prague – December 20, 1968, Tel Aviv ) was a German-speaking Czech Jewish, later Israeli, author, composer, and journalist.

Max Brod was born in Prague, then part of the province of Bohemia in Austria-Hungary, now the capital of the Czech Republic.

In 1939, as the Nazis took over Prague, Brod and his wife Elsa Taussig fled to Palestine.

When Brod fled Prague in 1939, he took with him a suitcase of Kafka's papers, many of them unpublished notes, diaries, sketches, and so forth.

From the mouth of the Vistula river and the Prussian region, the Teutonic Knights by force continued the eastward migration up to Estonian Reval ( Tallinn ), Germans also settled in the mountainous border regions of Bohemia and Moravia and formed a distinct social class of citizens in towns like Prague, Havlíčkův Brod ( Deutsch-Brod ), Olomouc ( Olmütz ) and Brno ( Brünn ).

After meeting Tucholsky, Brod's friend and fellow author Franz Kafka had this to say about him in his diary:

Kafka was a frequent guest in Brod's parents ' house.

Even after Brod's 1913 marriage with Elsa Taussig, he and Kafka remained each other's closest friends and confidants, assisting each other in problems and life crises.

His final performance was a voice over on Hey Arnold in 2000 as the voice of Jimmy Kafka, the long mentioned but never seen former friend of Arnold's Grandpa.

He argues that the severed relationship between Georg and his friend represented the bachelorhood Georg, and therefore Kafka, would soon have to give up.

In his diaries, Kafka wrote that the friend is the strongest connection between Georg and his father, for it is through this link that his father is able to reassert himself as paterfamilias and his son's enemy and that Georg is able to submissively accept him as such.
