About the Author

Franz Kafka was one of the major German-language fiction writers
of the 20th century. A middle-class Jew based in Prague, his unique
body of writing — many incomplete and most published posthumously —
has become amongst the most influential in Western literature.
Kafka's works – including the stories Das Urteil (1913, "The
Judgement"), In der Strafkolonie (1920, "In the Penal Colony"); the
novella Die Verwandlung ("The Metamorphosis"); and unfinished
novels Der Prozess ("The Trial") and Das Schloß ("The Castle") –
have come to embody the blend of absurd, surreal and mundane which
gave rise to the adjective "kafkaesque".
