Description

The Franz Kafka Memorial is a fascinating sculpture by Jaroslav Róna, located in Prague's Jewish quarter. It depicts Kafka sitting on the shoulders of a headless figure, a reference to his 1912 short story 'Description of a Struggle'.

The base of the monument contains cobblestones arranged in a shape resembling a 'giant insect' - a subtle reference to the famous 'Transfiguration'. In the evening, the monument is strikingly illuminated, adding to its mysterious character.

It is a must-see for literature and art lovers, providing an interesting contrast to the traditional architecture of its surroundings.
