Short Bio
Franz Kafka, born July 3, 1883, in Prague, part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and passing on June 3, 1924, was a Bohemian writer whose posthumously published novels, including "The Trial," "The Castle," and "Amerika," have become synonymous with existential angst and the surreal bureaucratic nightmares of modernity.
Kafka's work, characterized by its complex narratives, exploring themes of alienation, guilt, and absurdity, has had a profound impact on 20th-century literature, influencing existential philosophy and the genre of magical realism. His ability to blend realistic detail with fantastical elements has made his stories enduringly fascinating and subject to countless interpretations.
