FRANZ KAFKA

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was a German-speaking Czech-Austrian author  regarded as one of the
most important writers during the 20th century. He was born and grew up in a middle-class Czech
Jewish family in Prague. Later  he trained as a lawyer and after completing his legal education
was employed full-time by an insurance company. Hence  he wrote in his spare time and used the
experiences from the insurance company as inspiration for his works  which more than once
describes a bizarre bureaucracy.  However  none of his works were published during his
lifetime. In his will  Kafka instructed his executor and friend  Max Brod  to destroy his
unfinished works  including his novels The Trial  The Castle  and America. Instead of obeying
Kafka's instruction  Brod published his works which later has influenced several writers 
critics  artists  and philosophers during the 20th and 21st centuries. Today  Kafka is renowned
as one of the greatest interpreters on human exposure in a world where laws and ordinance are
superior to the individual.  The conception and design behind our bookends stem from Swedish
renowned industrial designer  Jan Landqvist and are made in the small town of Gnosjö in the
south of Sweden.
