"I need solitude for my writing; not 'like a hermit' - that wouldn't
be enough - but like a dead man."
- Franz Kafka


Franz Kafka

Kafka is renowned for his visionary and profoundly enigmatic stories that often present a grotesque vision of the world in which individuals burdened with guilt, isolation, and anxiety make a futile search for personal salvation. His complex and impersonal stories are so unique that his name inspired an adjective - kafkaesque
