Biographies

FRANZ KAFKA

Kafka was born into a middle-class Jewish family in Prague in 1883. In 1906 he received a Law degree from Prague’s Deutsche Universität. By this time he had written many stories, sketches, prose poems and fragments of novels. He wrote prolifically, supporting himself by means of a job in insurance.

By the time of his death from tuberculosis in 1924, he had published little and his work was known to few. He left his manuscripts to his friend Max Brod with instructions to burn them unread. Brod however arranged for the publication of his work, including The Trial which he compiled from the fragments Kafka had left unfinished.

Taken together, his major works – The Trial and The Castle as well as his many stories and fragments, his diaries and letters and his famous “Letter to His Father” – all make him unquestionably one of the most acclaimed and influential writers of the 20th century.
