Franz Kafka was a German-speaking Bohemian Jewish novelist and short-story writer, who was one of the major fiction writers of the 20th century. He was born to a middle-class German-speaking Jewish family in Prague, Bohemia (presently the Czech Republic), Austria-Hungary. Few of Kafka’s works were published during his lifetime. In his will, Kafka instructed his executor and friend Max Brod to destroy his unfinished works, but Brod ignored these instructions. His work has influenced a vast range of writers, critics, artists, and philosophers during the 20th and 21st centuries.<P>

Kafka’s work, which combines elements of realism and the fantastic, typically features isolated protagonists facing eccentric or surrealistic predicaments and unfathomable socio-bureaucratic powers and has been interpreted as exploring themes of alienation, existential anxiety, guilt, and absurdity.<P>
