Franz Kafka[a] (3 July 1883 – 3 June 1924) was a German-speaking Bohemian novelist and short story writer based in Prague, considered one of the major figures of 20th-century literature. His work combines realism and fantastical elements. It usually has isolated protagonists facing bizarre or surreal situations and understandable socio-bureaucratic powers. It has been interpreted as exploring themes of isolation, existential anxiety, guilt and absurdity. Among his best-known works are the novella The Metamorphosis and the novels The Trial and The Castle. The term Kafkaesque entered English to describe the absurdity of his writings.
