Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Franz Kafka is a master at blending the mundane with the surreal. His unique, compelling narratives examine themes of existential dread and bureaucratic absurdity, challenge reality, and promise a riveting journey through the uncanny corridors of the human psyche. Translated into English by renowned translator Stanley Appelbaum, this collectible volume includes five short stories of universal significance: The Metamorphosis, The Judgment, In the Penal Colony, A Country Doctor, and A Report to an Academy. This beautifully designed hardcover edition in the Dover Bookshelf series brilliantly captures Kafka's exploration of the human condition with an unrelenting realism and potent allegorical symbolism, making it an affordable treasure trove for literary scholars, bibliophiles, and general readers. AUTHOR: Franz Kafka was born in 1883 in Prague, where he lived most of his life. During his lifetime, he published only a few short stories, including The Metamorphosis, The Judgment, and The Stoker. He died in 1924, before completing any of his full-length novels. At the end of his life, Kafka asked his lifelong friend and literary executor Max Brod to burn all his unpublished work. Brod overrode those wishes. Franz Kafka is a master at blending the mundane with the surreal. His unique, compelling narratives examine themes of existential dread and bureaucratic absurdity, challenge reality, and promise a riveting journey through the uncanny corridors of the human psyche.
