（奥地利）卡夫卡著

About the Author

Franz Kafka, the renowned Austrian author of Czech-Jewish descent, is celebrated for his profound explorations of alienation, bureaucracy, and the human condition in the modern world. Born in Prague in 1883, Kafka worked as an insurance clerk while crafting stories that delve into the absurdities of existence and the fragility of identity. His works, often infused with a nightmarish quality, reflect the anxieties of early 20th-century Europe and continue to resonate with readers grappling with existential dilemmas. Despite his modest output during his lifetime—much of which was published posthumously—Kafka's influence on literature is immeasurable, shaping surrealism, existentialism, and modernist fiction. Notable among his collections is '变形记：卡夫卡中短篇小说全集 (Chinese Edition)', a comprehensive anthology of his middle and short stories that captures the essence of his haunting narrative style.
