Don’t miss this profound tale—read "The Metamorphosis" and experience Kafka’s unique vision for yourself!
Franz Kafka (1883–1924) was a German-speaking writer born in Prague. He is renowned for his exploration of alienation, existential anxiety, and bureaucratic absurdity in modern society. Kafka’s haunting stories—including "The Metamorphosis," "The Trial," and "The Castle"—are considered some of the most influential works of 20th-century literature. Despite his modest literary output during his lifetime, Kafka’s distinct style and themes have made him a central figure in world literature, and the term "Kafkaesque" has come to describe situations marked by surreal distortion and helplessness.
