Franz Kafka
Franz Kafka was a Prague-born German-speaking Jewish writer of the early 20th century.
His unique, often incomplete works are considered highly influential in European literature.
Kafka's most famous stories include "The Metamorphosis" and his posthumously published novels "The Trial," "The Castle," and "Amerika." He studied law but pursued writing, publishing only a few short stories during his lifetime.
Kafka asked his friend Max Brod to burn his unpublished works after his death, but Brod ignored this request and published them instead.
Kafka's writing style is characterized by nightmarish, impersonal worlds and troubled individuals, themes that have become synonymous with the term "Kafkaesque.".
