The "Kalima Diary" project in the Department of Culture and Tourism - Abu Dhabi published a new book entitled "Kafka Diary: 1910-1923" by Stephen Connor, translated into Arabic by the Jordanian translator and critic Dr. Khalil Al-Sheikh.
The book deals with the details of Kafka's life, which began in the early second half of 1910. At the age of 27 he wrote his diary, and then stopped writing it in 1923 at the age of 40. The value of Kafka's diary is that it represents an explanatory text of its other narrative texts, illuminates its worlds, explains its mysteries and shows the nature of the birth of some, the worlds of disease, pessimism and disappointments. In any event, Kafka's Fiumicat shows the nature of the Kafkawi world crises, its turmoil and sense of futility, and its gradualism reveals the transformations of this world, although every movement in the diary takes place within the constants of that world ruled by helplessness and the absurdity of existence. But all this feeling of alienation, a feeling of deep-seated fear and existential anxiety raised the issue of the identity Kafka had expressed in expressing the many problems he had experienced at various levels.
The city of Prague was the space of Kafka's diary, in which he lived, studied at its university and worked in its institutions, and he neither wished nor could leave. Valomiyat reveal the atmosphere of Kafka and his friendships, disappointments, illness, pessimism and attempts to overcome those crises, which led to his death from tuberculosis at an early age.
Franz Kafka, a Czech-born German, is one of the most prominent novelists of the 20th century, and his short life was fraught with suffering, conflict, illness and a sense of disappointment. Kafkaism in literature has become a sign of the color of black writing and falling into the maze. As in his famous novels «The Mask», «Trial» and «Castle». Kafka's diary is the parallel text of these creations, revealing some of its contexts and able to crystallize Kafka's daily world features, from the beginning moments, to the critical times in his life that ended with tuberculosis and death at the Kerling Spa near Vienna.
