弗兰兹·卡夫卡(Franz Kafka 1883～1924),奥地利小说家。主要作品为4部短篇小说集和3部长篇小说,可惜生前大多未发表。卡夫卡文笔明净而想象奇诡,常采用寓言体,背后的寓意言人人殊,暂无(或永无)定论。他生活在奥匈帝国行将崩溃的时代,又深受尼采、柏格森哲学影响,其作品大都用变形荒诞的形象和象征直觉的手法,表现被充满敌意的社会环境所包围的孤立、绝望的个人。 Franz Kafka (1883 ~ 1924), Austrian novelist. Major works for the 4 short stories and 3 novels, but most of his unpublished. Kafka writing a clear and imaginative weird, often use the allegory, the meaning behind the different people, no (or never) conclusion. He lived in the era when the Austro-Hungarian Empire was about to collapse and was deeply influenced by the philosophy of Nietzsche and Bergson. Most of his works used the image of absurdity and the method of symbolic intuition to show his isolation and despair surrounded by a hostile social environment personal.
