On the basis of correspondence between Franz Kafka and Robert Klopstock, which was recently published by the author, this study presents the last years and days in the life of Franz Kafka, his connections with his family and friends and particularly with Klopstock, a medical student, who became acquainted with Kafka in 1921 at the Matliary sanatorium in the Tatras and with whom Kafka formed his last great friendship in life. Klopstock, who was himself literarily active, was very close to Kafka in the last years of his life; both were brought together by their intellectual interests. Kafka endeavoured to help Klopstock even materially, while Klopstock selflessly accompanied the writer in the last weeks of his life. This study also shows how classic medical ideas used in the treatment conflicted with Kafka’s own ideas and the efforts of his mistress Dora Diamantová, who advocated “natural cures”.
