TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY JAN MARCHAL-Czech-literature-history-Kafka- Recent picture of books of Czech writer Franz Kafka are on display at a tourist boutique, 19 October 2007 in Prague. Franz Kafka (1883-1924), born into a middle class Prague Jewish family is an author of "The Trail", "The Castle" and "The Metamorphosis". Kafka is regarded as one of the most important German language novelists and short story writers of the 20th century. Banned by the Nazis, shunned by the communists, and regarded as a stranger by the citizens of his home city, Prague-born German-language author Franz Kafka will have his completed works published for the first time in Czech.
