Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka
Franz Kafka (1883–1924) was a German-speaking Bohemian writer known for his surreal, often nightmarish works that explore themes of alienation, existential anxiety, and bureaucratic absurdity. His most famous works include "The Metamorphosis," where a man transforms into a giant insect, and "The Trial," which deals with an individual's helpless struggle against a faceless legal system. Kafka's writing is characterized by a bleak, disorienting tone, often reflecting his own feelings of isolation and powerlessness. Despite his relatively few published works during his lifetime, Kafka's influence has been profound, shaping modern existential and absurdist literature.
