La maphepha abebanjwe u-Eva Hoffe noRuth Wiesler, odade ababili abaphikisana ecaleni elineminyaka engaphezu kwemine bethi la maphepha bawathola ngokusemthethweni kumama wabo, u-Esther Hoffe, unobhala womngane oseduze kaKafka nongumabi wefa, uMax Brod.
Kepha inkantolo inqume ukuthi uBrod, uyalele encwadini yakhe yefa ukuthi iningi lemibhalo ayinikeze unobhala wakhe kufanele iye endaweni yokugcina umlando.
Ochwepheshe abahamba phambili bathe bebengalindele ukuthi izinto ezizovela kunoma yimiphi imibhalo kaKafka etholakala efulethini ezodala ukubuyekezwa okukhulu kwemisebenzi yombhali ongumJuda, waseJalimane owashona ngo-1924.
Kodwa amaphepha aseqoqweni kukholakala ukuthi ahlanganisa imibhalo yesandla kaBrod engasikhanyisela ngempilo nezikhathi zikaKafka ePrague.
"Kuwukunqoba kwabantu bakwa-Israyeli," umphathi weNational Library's Judaica Collection, u-Aviad Stollman, etshela abeReuters. "Lezi zinto zivalelwe iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-40 futhi ekugcineni zizodalulwa futhi zenziwe zifinyeleleke kubo bonke," kusho uStollman.
Izingoma zikaKafka ezithi “The Trial”, “The Castle” kanye “neMelika” zashicilelwa ngemuva kokushona kwakhe, lapho uBrod, naye owayengumbhali womlando wakhe, eshaya indiva isifiso sokufa sombhali owazalelwa ePrague sokushisa yonke imisebenzi engashicilelwe.
Ngo-1939 u-Brod wabalekela amaNazi, ethatha isitimela sokugcina ephuma ePrague ephethe ipotimende lamaphepha e-Kafka ngaphansi kwengalo yakhe. Ngemva kokufa kuka-Brod kwa-Israyeli ngo-1968, ingobo yomlando yadluliselwa ku-Esther Hoffe.
Unobhala ubeke eminye yemibhalo eTel Aviv naseZurich emabhokisini ediphozithi aphephile kanye nokunye efulethini lakhe edolobheni lakwa-Israel, okwenza kube nempicabadala yaseKafkaesque mayelana nokuqukethwe kwabo.
U-Esther Hoffe washona ngo-2007. Isipho sakhe emadodakazini akhe saphonselwa inselelo enkantolo nguMbuso wakwa-Israel, owathi imibhalo kufanele ibe sesidlangalaleni esizweni samaJuda.
U-Brod wayesevele enikeze okuningi kwemibhalo yesandla ka-Kafka kumshana womlobi ngo-1956. Bagcina e-Oxford ngemva komhlangano wamathuba phakathi kwesazi sesiNgisi nendodana yomshana - umshana kaKafka.
Kwa-Israel, u-Esther Hoffe wakhungathekisa izazi ngokuzinqabela ukufinyelela emaphepheni ayenawo - nakuba athengisa umbhalo wesandla ka-Kafka wenoveli yakhe ethi “The Trial” ngenani elibikiwe le-$2 million ngeminyaka yawo-1980.
Ngesikhathi kuqulwa icala, izinhlangothi bezihilizisana ngezimo ezingabazekayo okuthiwa zigcinwe ngaphansi kwazo, kucatshangelwa amakati alo wesifazane njengento ekhathazayo.
U-Harel Ashwal, ummeli obemele enye yamadodakazi kaHoffe, utshele i-Army Radio ukuthi ithimba labameli lingase lidlulise icala.
“Akukona ukuphela kwendaba,” esho.
