About the author
Franz Kafka (born on July 3, 1883 in Prague, Austro-Hungarian Empire; died on June 3, 1924 in Klosterneuburg-Kierling, Austria; sometimes also known as František Kafka in Czech) was a German-speaking author. His main body of work is comprised of numerous narratives along with three fragments of novels ( The Trial, The Castle and The Man Who Disappeared). The majority of Kafka's work was published posthumously and against his last will and testament by Max Brod, a close friend and confidant, whom Kafka had named as executor. Kafka's work undisputedly belongs to the canon of world literature.
