Franz Kafka (3 July 1883 – 3 June 1924) was a German-language novelist and short story writer, widely regarded as one of the major figures of 20th-century literature.
 His work, which fuses elements of realism and the fantastic, typically features isolated protagonists faced by bizarre or surrealistic predicaments and incomprehensible social-bureaucratic powers, and has been interpreted as exploring themes of alienation, existential anxiety, guilt, and absurdity.
 His best known works include "Die Verwandlung " ("The Metamorphosis"), "Der Process " ("The Trial"), and "Das Schloss " ("The Castle").
 The term "" has entered the English language to describe situations like those in his writing.
Letters to Ottla & the Family is a book collecting Franz Kafka's letters to his sister Ottla (Ottilie Davidová, née Kafka), as well as some letters to his parents Julie and Hermann Kafka.
 These letters were composed between 1909 and 1924; though Ottla died in the Holocaust, the letters were preserved by her husband and children.
 Originally published in German in 1974, the letters were translated into English by Richard and Clara Winston and published by Schocken Books in 1982.
 The English edition also includes photographs of Kafka and Ottla, as well as several images of postcards, letters, and drawings Kafka had sent his sister.
"Wedding Preparations in the Country" (German: "Hochzeitsvorbereitungen auf dem Lande") is an incomplete work by Franz Kafka which depicts in great detail the journey of the groom, Raban, travelling to the country to meet his future wife, Betty.
 Written between 1907 and 1908, three fragments with missing pages have survived, and, as with most of Kafka's work, they were published after his death by his friend Max Brod.
 According to Brod, Kafka's intention was to complete the story as a novel.
 An English translation of the story appears in "The Complete Stories of Franz Kafka".
