Franz Kafka
Franz Kafka jew František Kafka (twieled fit-3 ta' Lulju 1883 – miet fit-3 ta' Ġunju 1924) kien rumanzier u kittieb tal-istejjer qosra mill-Boemja li jitkellem il-Ġermaniż li kien ibbażat fi Praga, u jitqies b'mod mifrux bħala wieħed mill-figuri ewlenin tal-letteratura tas-seklu 20. Ix-xogħol tiegħu fih fużjoni ta' elementi ta' realiżmu u fantastiċi. Tipikament tinkludi protagonisti iżolati li jiffaċċjaw diffikultajiet strambi jew surreali u setgħat soċjoburokratiċi mhux komprensibbli. Ix-xogħol tiegħu ġie interpretat bħala wieħed li jesplora t-temi tal-aljenazzjoni, l-ansjetà eżistenzjali, il-ħtija u l-assurdità. L-iżjed xogħlijiet magħrufa tiegħu jinkludu n-novella Il-Metamorfosi u r-rumanzi Il-Proċess u Il-Kastell. It-terminu Kafkesk jew Kafkjan daħal fil-Malti biex jiddeskrivi sitwazzjonijiet assurdi bħal dawk deskritti fil-kitba tiegħu.

Bijografija 
Kafka twieled f'familja Lhudija Ċeka ta' klassi medja li titkellem il-Ġermaniż f'Praga, il-belt kapitali tar-Renju tal-Boemja, imbagħad parti mill-Imperu Awstrijakk-Ungeriż (illum il-belt kapitali tar-Repubblika Ċeka). Huwa tħarreġ bħala avukat, u wara li temm l-edukazzjoni ġuridika tiegħu ġie impjegat full-time minn kumpanija tal-assigurazzjoni. B'hekk kien obbligat jirrelega l-kitba fil-ħin liberu tiegħu. Matul ħajtu, Kafka kiteb mijiet ta' ittri lill-familja u lill-qrabat, inkluż lil missieru, li miegħu kellu relazzjoni diffikultuża u formali. Huwa tgħarras ma' diversi nisa iżda qatt ma żżewweġ. Huwa miet bit-tuberkolożi fl-1924 meta kellu 40 sena.

Kafka kien kittieb prolifiku u kien iqatta' l-biċċa l-kbira tal-ħin liberu tiegħu jikteb, spiss tard billejl. Huwa stmat li ħaraq 90 fil-mija tax-xogħol tiegħu stess minħabba li persistentement kien jissielet mad-dubji li kienu jinbtu minnu nnifsu. Ħafna mill-10 fil-mija l-oħra tax-xogħol, intilef jew inkella ma ġiex ippubblikat. Ftit mix-xogħlijiet ta' Kafka ġew ippubblikati matul ħajtu: il-ġabra ta' stejjer Kontemplazzjoni u Tabib tal-Kampanja, u l-istejjer individwali (bħan-novella tiegħu Il-Metamorfosi) ġew ippubblikati f'rivisti letterarji iżda ma tantx ingħataw attenzjoni pubblika.

Fit-testment tiegħu, Kafka ta struzzjonijiet lill-ħabib qarib u l-eżekutur letterarju tiegħu Max Brod biex jeqred ix-xogħlijiet mhux kompluti tiegħu, inkluż ir-rumanzi tiegħu Il-Proċess, Il-Kastell u Amerika, iżda Brod injora dawn l-istruzzjonijiet u ppubblika l-biċċa l-kbira tax-xogħol ta' sieħbu. Il-kitbiet ta' Kafka saru famużi fil-pajjiżi li fihom jiġi mitkellem il-Ġermaniż wara t-Tieni Gwerra Dinjija, u influwenzaw il-letteratura tagħhom. L-influwenza tax-xogħol tiegħu nfirxet fi bnadi oħra fid-dinja fis-snin 60 tas-seklu 20. Influwenza wkoll lil diversi artisti, kompożituri u filosfi.

Influwenza 
Dawn li ġejjin huma eżempji ta' xogħlijiet b'firxa ta' ġeneri drammatiċi, letterarji u mużikali li juru l-influwenza kulturali ta' Kafka:
