Franz Kafka (July 3, 1883-June 3, 1924) was born in Prague. He was one of the great German-language authors and short story writers of the 20th century, whose extraordinary body of writing, a lot of it incomplete and published after his death, in spie of his wish that it be destroyed, has become iconic in western literature. His most popular pieces of writing include his short story Die Verwandlung (The Metamorphosis) and his two books, Der Prozess (The Trial) and the incomplete novel Das Schloß (The Castle). Kafka's works portray the fundamental silliness of modern society, particularly the impersonal nature of administration and democracy. Kafka's work represents a great example of the modern concern with a person's place in society. Read More Read Less
