About the Author

Franz Kafka (1883–1924) was a German-language Jewish-Czech novelist and short-story writer, widely regarded as one of the major figures of 20th-century literature. His works, such as 'The Metamorphosis' and 'The Trial,' explore themes of alienation, existential anxiety, and the absurdity of bureaucratic systems, giving rise to the term 'Kafkaesque.'
