Metamorphosis and Other Stories
Franz Kafka (author), Michael Hofmann (translator)

Short stories

Paperback (07 Mar 2019)


This collection of new translations brings together the small proportion of Kafkas works that he himself thought worthy of publication. It includes Metamorphosis, his most famous work, an exploration of horrific transformation and alienation; Meditation, a collection of his earlier studies; The Judgement, written in a single night of frenzied creativity; The Stoker, the first chapter of a novel set in America and a fascinating occasional piece, and The Aeroplanes at Brescia, Kafkas eyewitness account of an air display in 1909. Together, these stories reveal the breadth of Kafkas literary vision and the extraordinary imaginative depth of his thought.
