Summary

"For the first time in fifty years, the greatest short works--including such classics of modern fiction as The metamorphosis, The judgment, and The stoker--are given a new life in an English free of anachronism. These new translations bring to light more clearly one of this century's most controversial and thought-provoking writers. Translated by PEN Translation Award-winner Joachim Neugroschel, The metamorphosis, In the penal colony, and other stories garnered critical acclaim and has made Kafka's work accessible to a whole new generation. This edition anthologizes twenty-eight of Kafka's best short works, including In the penal colony, which is new to this collection."--Publisher's description.
