Franz Kafka
Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was a German-language writer from Prague whose nightmarish novels and stories - 'The Metamorphosis,' 'The Trial,' 'The Castle' - gave the world the word 'Kafkaesque.' His vision of individuals crushed by incomprehensible bureaucratic forces proved so prophetic that the twentieth century often seems to have been written by him.
