(1883-1924), Czech novelist and short-story writer, whose disturbing, symbolic fiction, written in German, prefigured the oppression and despair of the middle and late 20th century. He is considered one of the most significant figures in modern world literature; the term Kafkaesque has, in fact, come to be applied commonly to grotesque, anxiety-producing social conditions or their treatment in literature.

Franz was an Austrian writer who became famous years after his death. Writing mostly in his spare time, Kafka created an interesting collection of literature. His short stories and novels all express feelings of inadequacy and a struggle with authoritative power.
