About The Author
Franz Kafka
Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was born into a Jewish family in Prague. In 1906, he received a doctorate in jurisprudence and for many years worked a tedious job as a civil service lawyer investigating claims at the State Worker’s Accident Insurance Institute. He never married and published only a few slim volumes of stories during his lifetime:
- Meditation (1912)
- The Stoker - A Fragment (1913)
- Metamorphosis (1915)
- The Judgement (1916)
- In the Penal Colony (1919)
- A Country Doctor (1920)
His great novels were not published until after his death from tuberculosis: America, The Trial, and The Castle.
