Franz Kafka was a highly influential writer who published three novels, a novella, and a great number of short stories. His peculiar writing style is often associated with the artistic philosophy of existentialism and expressionism. Federico Garcia Lorca is among Spain's best-known authors. He was a popular member of the Generation of '27 and an avid supporter of Republican Spain. One month after the coup that led to the Spanish Civil War, he was assassinated by a group of Francoists.
