Flantz Kafka (1July 3, 883-1June 3, 924), a Czech-born German novelist, lived under the rule of Austria-Hungary (the political alliance between Austria and Hungary) and worked as an insurance clerk. His major works include The Trial, The Castle and Metamorphosis.
Kafka was born in 1883 into a Jewish merchant family. /kloc-entered Prague university to study literature and law at the age of 0/8. 1904 began to write. His main works are four collections of short stories and three novels. Unfortunately, most of them were not published before his death, and none of the three long articles were finished. He lived in an era when Austria-Hungary was about to collapse, and was deeply influenced by Nietzsche and Bergson's philosophy. He always keeps a live attitude towards political events, so most of his works use grotesque images and symbolic intuition to express isolated and desperate individuals surrounded by hostile social environment.
