His most famous works, like "The Metamorphosis" and "The Trial," explore themes of alienation and the absurdity of modern life. Despite publishing only a few pieces during his lifetime, Kafka's precise prose and profound insights into the human condition have made him a cornerstone of 20th-century literature.
