Franz Kafka, a Czech novelist living under the rule of Austria-Hungary. Born into a Jewish merchant family, he entered Prague University to study literature and law at the age of 18, and began to write in 1904. His main works are four collections of short stories and three novels. Unfortunately, most of them were not published before his death, and there are still three long articles that have not been finished. Kafka is a famous expressionist writer in Europe. 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. His writing is clear and imaginative, and he often uses fables. The moral behind it is that people are different, and there is no (or never) conclusion, which makes various writing schools in the twentieth century admit that he is a pioneer.
