Kafka's letter to the father

string
Book •
Franz Kafka's "Letter to His Father" is a deeply personal and introspective exploration of Kafka's strained relationship with his father, Hermann Kafka.

Written in 1919 but never actually sent, the letter details Kafka's feelings of inadequacy and alienation.

He describes his father as a domineering and imposing figure.

Kafka delves into the ways his father's personality and expectations shaped his own insecurities and anxieties.

The letter serves as a powerful critique of authoritarian parenting styles.

It is a poignant testament to the enduring impact of childhood experiences on an individual's sense of self and well-being.
