'''Frank Kafka''' (July 3, 1883 – June 3, 1924) was an [[author]] and [[attorney]] who wrote several classic stories illustrating how humans are alienated from a hostile, unintelligible, and indifferent modern world.

Several of his works became classics after Kafka died, including [[The Trial]] (1925) and [[The Castle]] (1926). In The Trial, an innocent man finds himself a defendant in a trial that he cannot understand, and he is sentenced to [[death]] for a crime he didn’t do. Kafka’s most famous short story was [[The Metamorphosis]] (1915), in which the narrator (Gregor Samsa) awakens to realize that he has been transformed into a monstrous [[vermin]] (often interpreted to be an [[insect]]). Through the course of the story, Gregor suffers an injury that ultimately becomes fatal.

Throughout Kafka’s works he expressed and sympathized with the feeling of being an outsider. Kafka didn't place much emphasis on formal [[religion]], though never rebuked entirely his [[Jewish]] heritage. Indeed, many of the ethical dilemmas found in his works reflect his intellectual fondness for rabbinical [[rhetoric]]. Franz Kafka passed away due to complications surrounding the onset of [[tuberculosis]]. His body lies in the [[New Jewish Cemetery]] in [[Prague-Žižkov]].
