Franz Kafka
Franz Kafka is a Jewish novelist in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He grew up in Prague, a German-speaking Jewish society, born in Prague, the capital city of the Czech Republic, as the eldest son of a Jewish parent. In 1906, he obtained his doctorate degree in law and worked for an insurance company in Prague in 1907. But the only meaning and goal of his life was in literary creation. He was diagnosed with tuberculosis in 1917, retired from an insurance company in 1922, and died in 1924 at a hospital for treatment of tuberculosis in the suburbs of Vienna, Austria. Kafka left the postmortem for all his documents, but his friend Max Blot published Kafka's works, diaries, and letters, leaving Kafka's name in modern literature.
