Franz Kafka (3 July 1883 - 3 June 1924) was a Bohemian novelist and short-story writer, widely regarded as one of the major figures of 20th-century literature. His work fuses elements of realism and the fantastic. It typically features isolated protagonists facing bizarre or surrealistic predicaments and incomprehensible socio-bureaucratic powers. It has been interpreted as exploring themes of alienation, existential anxiety, guilt, and absurdity. His best known works include "The Metamorphosis" and The Trial and The Castle. Few of Kafka's works were published during his lifetime: the story collections Contemplation and A Country Doctor, and individual stories (such as "The Metamorphosis") were published but received little public attention. In his will, Kafka instructed his executor and friend Max Brod to destroy his unfinished works, including his novels The Trial, The Castle, and Amerika, but Brod ignored these instructions. When Gregor Samsa 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, 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. As W.H. Auden wrote, Kafka is important to us because his predicament is the predicament of modern man. Derived from a Kirkus review: A fable, of satiric, symbolic implication, which again shows Kafka's concern with the identification of beast and man, in which "the animal is not likened to man, but man is acting out some animal identity in himself". This is the brief story of Gregor Samsa, a traveling salesman, who finds himself changed into a monstrous, many-legged vermin, to the horror and humiliation of his family and himself. The shame, the sorrow of his parents and sister turns to resentment -- finally results in his death. A caustic small story with a wider significance. Bantam Classic Edition [stated]. Later printing.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Updated 2002 Edition. 237 Pages with Alphabetical List of Spanish Titles of Poems and Alphabetical List of Spanish First Lines of Poems. Very light wear to front cover edges and with interior text pages near flawless. This Dover Edition, first published in 2002, contains a new selection of stories and poems by Ruben Darlo and extensive information on original periodical and volume publications will be found in the Introduction and Annotations, together with new English translations by Stanley Appelbaum, who also supplied the introductory matter and the footnotes. One of the most important Latin-American writers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Nicaraguan poet and essayist Rubén Darío, the pen name of Félix Rubén García Sarmiento, is considered the high priest of the modernismo school of literature, known for its dazzling verbal virtuosity and technical perfection. The present volume contains a rich selection of Darío's best poems and stories, carefully chosen from Azul (Blue), Prosas profanas (Worldly Hymns), Cantos de vida y esperanza (Songs of Life and Hope), El canto errante (The Wandering Song), and Poema del otoño (Poem of autumn). Stanley Appelbaum has provided accurate English translations (line for line in the poetry section) on the pages facing the original Spanish, as well as an informative introduction to Darío's life and work, and annotations to the individual stories and poems. The result is a superb resource for any student of Spanish language and literature or anyone interested in one of the earliest and most influential literary movements of the twentieth century.

By the end of World War 1, Ernst Udet was the ranking living German Ace, second only to his commander, the great Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron who had died in air battle. Udet was one of the few German pilots to have fought in all four years of the War, and to survive. In this highly readable autobiography he recounts the highlights of his career. It is a story of military heroism set off with scenes of forced landings, crashes into hangars, take-offs without tires, imprisonment for faulty flying judgment, and bailing out of a flaming aircraft. It is a story of personal fear and frustration coupled with compassion and courage.
