Franz Kafka Statue, Prague, Prague Overview
A little less than 80 years after his death, the Statue of Franz Kafka was the first commemorative tribute Prague installed to honour the city’s literary genius. Initiated by the Franz Kafka Society in the 1990s and finished by sculptor Jaroslav Rona in 2003, the bronze memorial statue stands in a small quadrangle on Dusni Street in the Jewish Quarter, the very place where Franz Kafka lived and wrote from. The statue depicts Franz Kafka seated on the shoulders of a headless figure wearing a suit, in reference to his 1912 short story ‘Description of a Struggle’ where the narrator sits atop the shoulders of an unknown ‘acquaintance’. The theme of the sculpture embodies the magical surrealism genre of the author’s work.
