Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was a Czech-born German-speaking writer of novels and short stories. He is one of the most significant figures in 20th-century literature. Franz was born in Prague, Bohemia, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire (now the Czech Republic). Kafka’s works often explore themes of alienation, existential dread, and bureaucratic absurdity. Some of his most famous works include “The Metamorphosis,” “The Trial,” and “The Castle.” His writing style is characterized by its surreal and nightmarish qualities and its focus on the individual’s struggle against an indifferent and oppressive society.
Kafka’s work profoundly influenced modern literature and has been the subject of much interpretation and analysis. Despite his relatively small output during his lifetime, Kafka’s works have had a lasting impact and continue to be widely read and studied today.
