“Franz Kafka Statue – Prague” was featured in the groups Statues and Such and “Public Art”. Bubble Jeopardy “Where is it?” question was solved by Umbra101!! – Photo taken in Prague, Czech Republic. / This interesting bronze statue by sculptor Jaroslav Rona is based on a vivid description that appears in Franz Kafka’s early short story “Description of a Struggle.” Kafka wrote of a young man riding on another man’s shoulders through the streets of Prague. In Rona’s work, that figure is Kafka himself sitting astride a headless man. This statue was unveiled in December 2003. It stands next to the Spanish Synagogue in Prague’s Jewish Quarter. / Source: About.com Franz Kafka (IPA: [ˈfʀanʦ ˈkafka]) (3 July 1883 – 3 June 1924) was one of the major fiction writers of the 20th century. He was born to a middle-class German-speaking Jewish family in Prague, Austria-Hungary, presently the Czech Republic. His unique body of writing—much of which is incomplete and which was mainly published posthumously—is considered by some people to be among the most influential in Western literature. His stories, such as The Metamorphosis (1915), and novels, including The Trial (1925) and The Castle (1926), concern troubled individuals in a nightmarishly impersonal and bureaucratic world.

Castle Bouzov in Czech Republic.
Photo taken on Charles Bridge, Prague, the capital city of the Czech Republic, in March 2006, with a Canon PowerShot S70 camera. Many people who passed by this carving, touched this golden dog. I got very curious, but had no clue what the story behind this carving is, and what kind of help these people hoped for… Sylvia helped me find out the following: this carving is on the base of the statue of St. John Nepomuk. Touching the statue is a Prague ritual. It is supposed to bring good luck and to ensure that you return to Prague soon.
