"Description of a Struggle is a three-part story written by Franz Kafka between 1903 and 1907. It constitutes his oldest surviving work and was only published after his death.

The central section can be viewed as a fantastical dream sequence divided into several sub-sections.
Kafka wrote two versions of this story."
