Metamorphosis and Other Stories by Franz Kafka [Paperback]

Description: 'One of the few great and perfect works of poetic imagination written during this century' Elias CanettiWITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ADAM THIRWELLOne morning, Gregor Samsa wakes up to find himself transformed into a giant insect. Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was born into a Jewish family in Prague. In 1906 he received a doctorate in jurisprudence, and for many years he worked a tedious job as a civil service lawyer investigating claims at the state Worker's Accident Insurance Institute. He never married, and published only a few slim volumes of stories during his lifetime. Meditation, a collection of sketches, appeared in 1912; The Stoker: A Fragment in 1913; The Metamorphosis in 1915; The Judgement in 1916; In the Penal Colony in 1919; and A Country Doctor in 1920. Only a few of his friends knew that Kafka was also at work on the great novels that were published after his death from tuberculosis: America, The Trial, and The Castle.
