Kafka’s Works

Franz Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis”, first published in 1915, explores themes of alienation, isolation, and existential angst through its protagonist, traveling salesman Gregor Samsa, who wakes up one day as a large insect. The surreal narrative investigates the impact of isolation and the absurdity of existence, while prompting questions about purpose, self-identity, and societal indifference. The novel, still relevant today, resonates deeply with modern themes of alienation and identity in a rapidly changing world.
