America

Franz Kafka (July 3, 1883 - June 3, 1924) was the great Czech writer, one of the major literary figures, not only in German literature but also in world literature. He was born in the Czech capital, Prague, which was within the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He was described as a pioneer of nightmarish philosophical writing, and the language of his literary writing, German, was known for being ingenious, extremely precise, and beautiful. Tuberculosis destroyed his body, but his literature guaranteed his immortality. America is Kafka's first novel, also known as (The Man Who Disappeared). Kafka wrote it from 1911 to 1914, and its first edition appeared in 1927, after Kafka's death. In various dialogues, Kafka always referred to this book as "his American novel," and the first chapter of the novel appeared separately in Kafka's Life in 1913, entitled "The Stoker." The novel includes many details about the experiences of Kafka's relatives in America.
