The Study of Franz Kafka's Satirical Art

Franz Kafka, the "father of modernist literature," is renowned for works like The Metamorphosis that expose modern society's dilemmas via absurdity and symbolism. Despite abundant Kafka studies, systematic research on his "satirical art" remains scarce. This book focuses on its formative foundations, expressive forms, thematic orientations, aesthetic characteristics, and literary-historical influence, adopting interdisciplinary methods to construct a comprehensive research system. It fills academic gaps, explores contemporary value, and offers insights for understanding modern social and human predicaments.
