Will Aaltonen Pearson Editor, Translator & Author

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) received little recognition for his writing during his lifetime but is now hailed as one of the greatest authors of the 20th century. His work is both harrowing and humorous, featuring individuals caught up in an impersonal and bureaucratic world over which they have increasingly little power. His most well-known works include Metamorphosis and The Trial.
