Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka (born Prague July 3, 1883 – died near Vienna June 3, 1924) was a Czech-born, German-speaking writer. His best known works are The Metamorphosis and the novelsThe Trial and The Castle. Not much of his work was published during his lifetime. He asked his friend to make sure that all his writings which were not published, including his three novels, would be destroyed when he died. Fortunately his friend did not destroy them, and they were published after Kafka’s death.

Kafka’s writings are about the frightening world around him which he often did not understand. A typical situation in his books might be someone who has gone somewhere to take a message, but he does not know what the message is or who it is for. The people he meets confuse him even more. Sometimes, when people find themselves in strange, nightmarish situations like this, they are described as Kafkaesque situations.

Short biography of Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka was born on July 3, 1883 in Prague, then part of Austria-Hungary, where he spent most of his life. From 1889 to 1893, he attended the "German Boys' School" there, followed by the so-called "Old Town German Grammar School", from which he graduated in 1901. He then studied law at the German-language branch of Charles University. After graduating, he worked in various insurance companies, which he did not enjoy very much. Kafka suffered from tuberculosis, which led to his early death on June 3, 1924.

Kafka was already preoccupied with literature in his youth, and only a fraction of his early literary attempts have survived.In his texts, Kafka often tells of absurd, confused and grotesque events.Most of his literary works were only published after his death, against his will, by his friend and executor Max Brod, who also collected and passed on Kafka's lesser-known drawings.

FAMILY

Kafka was born into a middle-class, German-speaking Jewish family in Prague, the capital of Bohemia, a kingdom that was then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His father, Hermann Kafka (18521931), was described by Kafka himself as "a true Kafka in strength, health, appetite, loudness of voice, eloquence, self-satisfaction, worldly dominance, endurance, presence of mind, [and] knowledge of human nature ...". Hermann was the fourth child of Jacob Kafka, a butcher, and came to Prague from Osek, a Jewish village near Písek in southern Bohemia. After working as a traveling sales representative, he established himself as an independent retailer of men's and women's fancy goods and accessories, employing up to 15 people and using a jackdaw (kavka in Czech) as his business logo. Kafka's mother, Julie (18561934), was the daughter of Jakob Löwy, a prosperous brewer in Poděbrady, and was better educated than her husband.
