Encyclopedic overview

Brod (right) with stage directors of the Habima theatre in Tel Aviv, 1942 Max Brod (right) with Paul Ben-Haim and his wife Brod at the Schiphol airport in the Netherlands, 1965 Max Brod (Hebrew: מקס ברוד; 27 May 1884 – 20 December 1968) was an Israeli author, composer and journalist, born as a German-speaking Czech. He is notable for promoting the work of writer Franz Kafka and composer Leoš Janáček.

Although he was a prolific writer in his own right, he is best remembered as the friend and biographer of Franz Kafka. Kafka named Brod as his literary executor, instructing Brod to burn his unpublished work upon his death. Brod refused and had Kafka's works published instead.
