法蘭茲．卡夫卡

About the Author

Franz Kafka, the enigmatic Czech-born writer of Jewish descent, is renowned for his profound explorations of alienation, bureaucracy, and the human condition in early 20th-century Europe. Born in Prague in 1883, Kafka worked as an insurance clerk by day while crafting his haunting narratives by night, often grappling with themes of existential dread and absurdity. His works, marked by a dreamlike intensity and psychological depth, have profoundly influenced modern literature, philosophy, and even popular culture. Despite his lifelong self-doubt and the posthumous publication of many of his manuscripts—against his wishes—Kafka's legacy endures as a cornerstone of modernist fiction. Notable among his creations is 'The Metamorphosis: Existentialist Pioneer Novel (Traditional Chinese Edition),' a seminal novella that captures the surreal horror of transformation and isolation.
