Franz Kafka was one of the major fiction writers of the 20th century. He was born to a middle-class German-speaking Jewish family in Prague, Bohemia (presently the Czech Republic), Austria-Hungary. His unique body of writing much of which is incomplete and which was mainly published posthumously-is considered to be among the most influential in Western literature. His stories include “The Metamorphosis” (1912) and “In the Penal Colony” (1914), while his novels are The Trial (1925), The Castle (1926) and Amerika (1927). Kafka’s first language was Germän, but he was also fluent in Czech. Later, Kafka acquired some knowledge of the French language and culture; one of his favorite authors was Flaubert.

From the author of Crime and Punishment comes this remarkable collection of short fiction. A selection of ten compelling tales, steeped in Dostoyevsky’s characteristic themes of spiritual torment and psychological struggle, evoke life in Czarist Russia. Featured stories include “The Dream of a Ridiculous Man,” “Bobok,” “An Honest Thief,” “An Unpleasant Predicament,” “Another Man’s Wife,” “The Peasant Marey,” “The Crocodile,” “A Faint Heart,” “A Christmas Tree and a Wedding,” and the title work. Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821&;1881) created powerful depictions of the human condition that led to significant developments in twentieth-century thought, including psychoanalysis and existentialism. His influence resonates in the works of latter-day authors such as Proust, Faulkner, Hemingway, and Kafka. This collection of his short stories offers thought-provoking glimpses into the Russian author’s moving portrayals of the conflict between flesh and spirit.

The Metamorphosis ( An Original Classic) by Franz Kafka
0 out of 5(0)- ISBN-13 : 978-8182478688
The metamorphosis’ Is a short novel by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915. It is often cited as one of the seminal works of fiction of the 20th century and is widely studied in colleges and universities across the Western world. The story begins with a travelling salesman, Gregor SA MS a, waking to find himself transformed into an insect. “When Gregor SA MS a woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin.” with this startling, bizarre, yet surprisingly funny first sentence, Franz Kafka begins his masterpiece, ‘the metamorphosis’. It is the story of a young man who, transformed overnight into a giant beetlelike insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an outsider in his own home, a quintessentially alienated man. A harrowing—though absurdly comic—meditation on human feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and isolation, ‘the metamorphosis’ Has taken its place as one of the most widely read and influential works of twentieth-century fiction.
