Description
Book Synopsis''One of the few great and perfect works of poetic imagination written during this century'' Elias Canetti
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ADAM THIRWELL
One morning, Gregor Samsa wakes up to find himself transformed into a giant insect. His family is understandably perturbed and he finds himself an outsider in his own home. In ''Metamorphosis'' and the other famous stories included here, Kafka explores the confusing nature of human experience with sly wit and compelling originality.
Trade ReviewHe is the greatest German writer of our time. Such poets as Rilke or such novelists as Thomas Mann are dwarfs or plaster saints in comparison to him -- Vladimir Nabokov
I think of a Kafka story as a perfect work of literary art, as approachable as it is strange, and as strange as it is approachable -- Michael Hofmann
