Author Info

Franz Kafka (1883–1924) was a German-speaking Jewish writer born in Prague, which was then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He is widely regarded as one of the most important writers of the 20th century, and his work has had a profound impact on literature, philosophy, and psychoanalysis. Kafka’s writing explores complex themes such as existential anxiety, alienation, the absurdity of modern life, and the oppressive nature of bureaucratic systems. Early Life and Education: Kafka was born into a middle-class Jewish family. His father, Hermann Kafka, was a domineering and often harsh figure, which significantly influenced Franz’s psychological development and his strained relationship with authority and identity. Kafka’s mother, Julie Kafka, was more supportive, but his father’s strong personality dominated the household. Kafka attended the German University in Prague, where he studied law, earning a degree in 1906. Although his degree allowed him to work in a law office, he was more passionate about writing, which he did in his spare time. Kafka’s early career involved working at the Workers Accident Insurance Institute, a job that exposed him to the bureaucratic world, which later became a central theme in his writing. Personal Life: Kafka had a number of intense and often troubled relationships, particularly with women. His most famous and tumultuous relationship was with Felice Bauer, to whom he was engaged twice but ultimately never married. Much of what is known about his emotional life comes from his letters to Felice, where he reveals his deep insecurities and fear of commitment. Kafka was also deeply conflicted about his Jewish identity, often feeling alienated from both the Jewish and the non-Jewish communities. Kafka struggled with poor health throughout his life, particularly with tuberculosis, which he contracted in 1917. His illness profoundly affected both his personal life and his writing, contributing to his sense of isolation and existential anxiety. Writing Career: Kafka’s writing is marked by its exploration of the absurd, the surreal, and the nightmarish. His works often depict individuals caught in labyrinthine bureaucratic systems or undergoing inexplicable transformations, reflecting the alienation and powerlessness he felt in his own life. Though Kafka wrote extensively, most of his major works were not published during his lifetime. His novels and stories were often unfinished, and many were unpublished. He instructed his friend Max Brod to burn his manuscripts after his death, but Brod ignored this request and published them posthumously, ensuring Kafka's place in literary history. Some of Kafka’s key works include: The Metamorphosis (Die Verwandlung): The famous novella about Gregor Samsa, who wakes up one day to find himself transformed into a giant insect. This work explores themes of alienation, guilt, and family dynamics.
