"The Bridge" (German: "Die Brücke") is a short story by Franz Kafka.
It was published posthumously in Beim Bau der Chinesischen Mauer (Berlin, 1931).
The first English translation by Willa and Edwin Muir was published by Martin Secker in London in 1933.
In the tale, the bridge discusses how, above the ravine, it grasps onto each end.
[2] The Bridge is one of many very short pieces by Kafka (flash fiction) yet it is ripe with meaning.
