The stunning, intricate, captivating, and unnerving short stories by Franz Kafka display him at the pinnacle of his writing abilities. In these, Kafka explores universal themes like guilt, alienation, self-expression, cruelty, condemnation, shame, and atonement. His dark and masterfully created stories, which vacillate between dream and reality, are populated by both people and animals. In Kafka's stories, the protagonists are chased and plagued as they travel through a world ruled by forces beyond their control.
