On June 3, 2004, 80 years have passed since the death of one of the greatest and the most important world writers of 20th century, the Prague German writer Franz Kafka. On November 5, 2004 we reminded that remarkable anniversary, which was also the 3rd anniversary of revelation of the monument of Franz Kafka in Tatranské Matliare, the High Tatras. Franz Kafka suffered from lung tuberculosis from 1917 until his death 1924. He was treated on lung tuberculosis in the sanatorium "Villa Tatra" from December 20, 1920 until August 27, 1921 in Tatranské Matliare, the High Tatras. Lung tuberculosis was a very dangerous disease in that time and the treatment by dietotherapy, climatotherapy and symptomatic therapy without antituberculotic drugs was less effective in many patients. In the paper the disease of Franz Kafka was described according to available literature.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was a novelist from what is now the Czech Republic, and is one of the figures who symbolize modern world literature. Although his works are more than 100 years old, Kafka displays amazing foresight regarding modern society; his writing portrays many original and unusual settings with extremely realistic expressions of individuals who find themselves in solitude caught in a huge inhuman system that typifies the current society. In this report, I discuss the association between such originality and Kafka's solitary interiority from a neuroscientific perspective.

Franz Kafka had beautiful eyes. So striking, that many of the famous author's friends and peers commented on them - but quite variously ('dark', 'brown', 'grey' & 'blue'). Eye colour as perceived by an observer is subjective, being influenced by physiological, environmental, and even sociocultural factors.

In this chapter, I use methods drawn from literary analysis to bear on artificial scarcity and explore how literary and legal storytelling engages in scarcity mongering. I find three particular narrative strategies calculated to compel a conclusion in favor of propertization: the spectacle of need, the diversionary tactic, and the rallying cry. First, I unpack the spectacle of need and its diversionary aspects through several literary accounts of scarcity and starvation.
