Additionally, villages were abandoned and there was an increase in vagabonds, or…

written in 1915 by the Czech writer Franz Kafka. We focused on the sense of alienation and the existentialist qualities this literary work presents. One of the first matters discussed was how Kafka’s own context had influenced many the concepts present in the novella. He was an outsider for being an existentialist in an orthodox family.

Although jobs are often seen as an extension of a person, the connotations associated with certain career choices should not define an individual.
