Franz Kafka is a guide to some very dark feelings most of us know well concerned with powerlessness, self-disgust and anxiety. This literary genius turned the stuff of nightmares into redemptive, consoling art. If you like our films take a look at our shop (we ship worldwide): https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/

I hate his mother the most. That's an enabler of an abuser if I've ever heard one. Fully aware that this is not the point of introducing us to mr Kafka, however it spawns anger in me just imagining how his life was, hurts that it is relatable.
So beautifully narrated.
Kafa the doomer blackpil.
Whenever I see the green screen pop up in the beginning I know its school of life. Love the trademark
It is so very sad what cruelty will do to a person
To prevent me from all this troubles I need tenderness!
I was at chili's when Kafka was an answer in a game. Now I get this recommendation. Kafka sounds like a beta bitch. Mix of Lovecraft and Marx.
Just started readin the trial. Bit of a spoiler in the video. šš
Jesus, how fucking tragic, that the 'best german author since Goethe' died in anonymity.
I'm about to read Kafka for the first time – well, his literary work, since I've read his letters before – and this video just managed to get me both excited and informed about his life, who he was and what to expect from the story. It will be The Trial, along with a book club I'm in.

i cried for Frank Kafka. Excellent narration. Humans have the greatest minds and our perspective is driven by things around us.
When I got to the part 5:56 where the tragic and absurd sentence that the father declares to his son to drown himself, the son absurdly obeying that order, and then for the father to declare that…"You were an innocent child, really, but at heart a diabolical human being" made me made me laugh out loud as if I were watching a Monty Python sketch. Of course, the Terry Gilliam-esque cut-out of the old man jumping up and down on the bed helped! hahahahaha
Son : I want to a writer
Father: Let me help you

I recognise the narrator… Alain de Botton?
thank you
This might the best video from your channel.
Wonderful, thanks ššššššššļøšļøš
Sounds like a talented version of me.
I love the MontPythonesque humor of the video images.
This is really really really sad and breaks my heart on the amount of trauma he had to carry with him and the fact he had no support I too know this pain well. This is a glimpse of how sociaty is worldwide many failing to protect the innocent of a child …its carries over for the rest of ones life.
"The task of literature is to reconnect us with feelings, which might otherwise be unbearable to study."'
I just wanna hug him now
Kafka's diary is my second favourite book of his. It goes deep into his mind, his philosophy, his life. It gives a lot of insight and context to his works. Max Brod is a great person and the best friend Kafka could ever have.
i could see pieces of how he had viewed himself and how he thought the world was with/without him in it. its so sad š
the way they victim blame his mom tho like chilll she was probably scared too—don't like that narrative
this is dark asl
There is an English translation of the long letter he wrote to his father somewhere in the internet. Please read it and donāt hold your tears.
Basically Twitter.
The Trial is an anxiety dream.
