Abstract

The authors study one of the least explored aspects of the work of the Czech writer in German language Franz Kafka: the disease in his literary and intimate discourse. As well, the researchers face the analysis of his literary and personal work with the objective of discovering the different representations of the disease and the strong relationship that these images and metaphors have in his life and his art.

Keywords:
