Article · Deutsch

Max Brod (* 27. Mai 1884 in Prag; † 20. Dezember 1968 in Tel Aviv) war ein deutschsprachiger Schriftsteller, Theater- und Musikkritiker mit österreichischer, tschechoslowakischer und israelischer Staatsbürgerschaft. Sein einst erfolgreiches literarisches Werk ist heute weitgehend unbeachtet. Bedeutungsvoll sind seine Verdienste um den Erhalt der Werke des Schriftstellers Franz Kafka als deren Herausgeber, Bearbeiter und Interpret. Darüber hinaus war Brod Förderer der Komponisten Leoš Janáček und Jaromír Weinberger. Er gilt auch als Entdecker des Dichters Franz Werfel.
