About Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka (1883–1924) was a Prague-born German-language writer whose fiction became a defining achievement of literary modernism. He wrote about individuals caught within opaque systems, fractured relationships, and disturbing transformations.

His best-known works include The Metamorphosis, The Trial, The Castle, and In the Penal Colony. His precise yet uncanny style has influenced literature, philosophy, theater, and film.
