Google Doodle of Today

Today's Doodle is celebrates Franz Kafka's 130th birthday.

Franz Kafka (3 July- 3 June 1924) was a German-language writer of novels and short stories, regarded by critics as one of the most influential authors of the 20th century. Kafka strongly influenced genres such as existentialism. His works, such as "Die Verwandlung " ("The Metamorphosis ") , Der Process (The Trial), and Das Schloss (The Castle), are filled with the themes and archetypes of alienation,physical and physical and psychological brutality, parent-child conflict, characters on a terrifying quest, labyrinths of bureaucracy, and mystical transformation.

Kafka was born into a middle-class, German-speaking Jewish family in Prague, then part of the Austro- Hungarian Empire. He trained as a lawyer and, after completing his legal education, obtained employment with an insurance company. He began to write short stories in his spare time. For the rest of his life, he complained about the little time he had to devote to what he came to regard as his calling. He regretted having to devote so much attention to his Brotberuf ("day job", literally "bread job"). Kafka preferred to communicate by letter; he wrote hundreds of letters to family and close female friends, including his father, his francèe Felice Bauer, and his youngest sister Ottla. He had a complicated and troubled relationship with his father that had a major effect on his writing. He also suffered conflict over being Jewish, feeling that it had little to di with him, although critics argue that it influenced his writing.
