☕ Donate a coffee ⭐ Support on Patreon Franz Kafka is one of the major figures of 20th century literature who  received little public attention during his lifetime. He dealt with  existentialist themes such as alienation, anxiety, disorientation and  the absurd.    His work is so original that the term Kafkaesque was coined to describe  the atmosphere of his work: the nightmarish, bizarre or illogical  situations.    Throughout his works we see the strange dream-like mixture of perplexity  and embarrassment play out, such as having some simple task to do that  turns out to be so complex that it seems to have no end, and the notion  of a grand organisation with its incomprehensible bureaucratic system  that hovers invisibly over each individual, and has complete power over  one’s life.    We will be focusing on three of Kafka’s most popular works: The  Metamorphosis, The Trial, and The Castle. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/eternalised/message
