Synopsis "Der Gruftwächter: Drama (in German)"

Der Gruftwächter ist das einzige Drama von Franz Kafka. Es entstand in der Zeit zwischen 1916 und 1917 und wurde postum veröffentlicht. Es behandelt die undurchsichtigen Machtverhältnisse und -verschiebungen am Hof eines Fürsten, wobei reale und irrationale Kräfte und Strömungen beschrieben werden. Kafka erinnert in diesem kleinen Drama an den 1. Aufzug des Hamlet. Auch dort erleben Wächter eine nächtliche Gespenstererscheinung des früheren Königs. Kafka hat das Shakespeare-Werk zu dieser Zeit intensiv gelesen. Der Gruftwächter entstand in der Epoche um den Tod von Kaiser Franz Joseph I.

(Prague, Austro-Hungarian Empire, 1883 - Kierling, Austria, 1924) Bohemian writer in German language. His work, among the most influential in world literature, is a pioneer in the fusion of realistic elements with fantastic ones and focuses mainly on father-son conflicts, anxiety, existentialism, physical and psychological brutality, guilt, the philosophy of the absurd, bureaucracy, and spiritual transformations. He wrote notable novels and a large number of short stories, and also left behind extensive correspondence and autobiographical writings. His unique literary style has often been associated with the artistic philosophy of existentialism and expressionism. His personal relationships also had a significant impact on his writing. The term Kafkaesque is used in Spanish to describe bizarre situations, due to their absurdity and distressing nature.
