Synopsis

Today it is hard to believe that Franz Kafka allowed so little of his work to be published during his lifetime. Although he wrote continually, and shorter stories turn up everywhere in his work--in his novels, in his diaries and even in his letters--Kafka often felt that they were unworthy. Only after his death did the process of selecting, editing and bringing to publication much of his work begin. Many admirers contributed to the process: Max Brod, his friend and executor, who found and published many unknown manuscripts; Hannah Arendt, who was the first person to edit a selection of Kafka's parables, and Nahum N. Glatzer, who has culled still other stories from Kafka's total body of work. This edition, in turn, continues the process: it is the first collection to gather all of Kafka's stories and parables in one volume. Together they are the core of Kafka's lifework, extraordinary for their vision and variety.
