Infos

Franz Kafkas bizarrely comedic meditation on human feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and isolation expressed through the story of a man who is transformed overnight into a giant beetle, now repackaged with a beautifully designed jacket by noted illustrator Malika Favre. Only yesterday, Gregor Samsa was a meek salesman, browbeaten by his unappreciative employer and depended on fiercely by his ungrateful family. This morning, Gregor awakens to discover that, overnight, he has been transformed into a monstrous insect.First published in 1915, Kafka's best-known tale has inspired numerous interpretations for more than a century and helped to establish the term ';Kafkaesque' as a reference to a bizarre and nightmarish experience. This collection of his short fiction, in a new translation, includes more than thirty of his short stories and sketches, including ';In the Penal Colony,' ';The Stoker,' ';The Judgment,' ';A Country Doctor,' ';A Hunger Artist,' and more.
