"The Great Wall of China" is a short story by Franz Kafka, written in 1917 and published posthumously in 1930. The narrative, told from the perspective of an older man, explores themes related to the construction of the wall, the relationship between the past and present, and the elusive presence of authority. Included within the story is a separate parable titled "A Message from the Emperor."
