Auteur: Franz Kafka

Over de Auteur

Franz Kafka was a German-speaking Bohemian writer known for his surreal and existential works. His writing often explores themes of alienation, existential anxiety, and the absurdity of life. Kafka's most famous works include "The Metamorphosis," where a man wakes up transformed into an insect, and "The Trial," which depicts a man caught in a nightmarish bureaucratic process. His unique narrative style and profound insights into the human psyche have made him a central figure in 20th-century literature.

Despite his relatively small body of work, Kafka's influence on literature and philosophy is immense. His stories often reflect his own struggles with identity and societal expectations, making them relatable to many readers. Kafka's works have inspired countless authors, filmmakers, and artists, and he is often regarded as a precursor to modern existentialism. Today, Kafka's writing continues to resonate, inviting readers to question their own realities.
