Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was a German-language writer of visionary fiction, born into a prosperous middle-class Jewish family. His works express the anxieties and alienation felt by many people in Europe, during the 20th century. His most known works are The Trial and The Metamorphosis. In Letter to Father (1919), the writer's most important attempt at autobiography - a letter that never reached the addressee - he attributed his failure to live, his escape into literature to the prohibitive figure his father was to him.
