Kafkasque is the expresion used to name the specific atmosphere in the works of Czech writer Franc Kafka. His novels and stories were so original and fresh, that literary critics and theoretics invented this new word, which is later used to describe the situations in fiction or even in reality which are similarly absurd, surreal and strange like those in Kafka's books. The main topics of his work were alienation, existential anxiety and guilt. His characters are isolated individuals dealing with bizare and surreal problems and absurd and incomprehensible social-bureaucratic powers. Kafkas most important works are: story "The Metamorphosis" and novels "The Trial" and "The Castle".
