Features: Brief introduction "The U.S.A.", "The Trial", and "The Castle" are the only three full-length novels written by the Austrian novelist Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who is known as the "forefather of Western modernist literature". They are not very long and are all unfinished works. "Compared to the masters of his generation who have the same achievements in terms of works, they are even somewhat insignificant," but Kafka's "great insight into modern people and modern society, his homeless feeling rooted in Jewish heritage, turbulent times, and the indifferent world, his trembling gaze at human suffering, and his firsthand witnessing of life's collapse all make his works a modern apocalypse, forming an important part of the modern human landscape."
