Selected by the preeminent Kafka biographer and scholar Reiner Stach and newly translated by the peerless Michael Hofmann, the seventy-four pieces gathered here have been lost to sight for decades and two of them have never been translated into English before. Some stories are several pages long; some run about a page; a handful are only a few lines long: all are marvels. Even the most fragmentary texts are revelations. These pieces were drawn from two large volumes of the S. Fischer Verlag edition Nachgelassene Schriften und Fragmente (totaling some 1100 pages)."Franz Kafka is the master of the literary fragment," as Stach comments in his afterword: "In no other European author does the proportion of completed and published works loom quite so...small in the overall mass of his papers, which consist largely of broken-off beginnings."   In fact, as Hofmann recently added: "'Finished' seems to me, in the context of Kafka, a dubious or ironic condition, anyway. The more finished, the less finished. The less finished, the more finished. Gregor Samsa's sister Grete getting up to stretch in the streetcar. What kind of an ending is that?! There's perhaps some distinction to be made between 'finished' and 'ended.' Everything continues to vibrate or unsettle, anyway. Reiner Stach points out that none of the three novels were 'completed.' Some pieces break off, or are concluded, or stop-it doesn't matter!-after two hundred pages, some after two lines. The gusto, the friendliness, the wit with which Kafka launches himself into these things is astonishing."

'In Kafka, no honour comes without suffering, and no suffering goes unhonoured' Joshua Cohen

The Metamorphosis is a short novel by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915. It is often cited as one of the seminal works of fiction of the 20th century and is widely studied in colleges and universities across the western world. The story begins with a travelling salesman, Gregor Samsa, waking to find himself transformed into an insect.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, Franz 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 harrowingthough absurdly comicmeditation 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.This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.ABOUT THE AUTHOR:Franz Kafka was born to Jewish parents in Bohemia in 1883. Kafkas father was a luxury goods retailer who worked long hours and as a result never became close with his son. Kafka had a thorough education and was fluent in both German and Czech. As a young man, he was hired to work at an insurance company where he was quickly promoted despite his desire to devote his time to writing rather than insurance.Over the course of his life, Kafka wrote a great number of stories, letters, and essays, but burned the majority of his work before his death and requested that his friend Max Brod burn the rest. Brod, however, did not fulfill this request and published many of the works in the years following Kafkas death of tuberculosis in 1924. Thus, most of Kafkas works were published posthumously, and he did not live to see them recognized as some of the most important examples of literature of the twentieth century. Kafkas works are considered among the most significant pieces of existentialist writing, and he is remembered for his poignant depictions of internal conflicts with alienation and oppression. His stories include The Metamorphosis (1912) and In the Penal Colony (1914), while his novels are The Trial (1925), The Castle (1926) and Amerika (1927). All of Kafkas published works, except several letters he wrote in Czech, were written in German.Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, ebook, 9788180320057

Franz Kafka schrieb den Roman »Das Schloss« 1922, vollendete ihn aber zunächst nicht. Das Buch erschien posthum 1926. Ein Dorf, unterhalb eines Schlosses ohne nähere geografische Bestimmung liegt, von wo aus es beherrscht wird. Ein Fremder namens K folgt einer angeblichen Einladung aus dem Schloss und reist von weither an, um als Landvermesser zu arbeiten, doch alle Versuche, mit der Schlossbehörde in Kontakt zu kommen, scheitern. Allmählich beginnt K., sich wie die anderen Dorfbewohner der undurchsichtigen Macht des Schlosses zu beugen.

Heavily influenced by Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov,The agents' boss later arrives and holds a mini-tribunal in the room of K.'s neighbor, Fräulein Bürstner. K. is not taken away, however, but left "free" and told to await instructions from the Committee of Affairs. He goes to work, and that night apologizes to Fräulein Bürstner for the intrusion into her room. At the end of the conversation he suddenly kisses her.In 1999, the book was listed in Le Monde's 100 Books of the Century and as No. 2 of the Best German Novels of the Twentieth Century.

The Squashed edition of Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. Abridged from the original text to read in an hour or so. Squashed editions are precise abridgements - the original ideas, in their own words, the full beam of the book, the quotable quotes and all the famous lines, but neatly honed down to the length of a readable short story. ""Like reading the bible without all the begats"" - Prof. Jim Curtis

Introduce your children to the whimsical existential surrealism of everyone's favourite German modernist writer! For real, though - Kafka's writing is surprisingly well suited for young children, as this short illustrated collection perfectly, well, illustrates.

Der Teenager Karl wird von seinen Eltern nach Amerika geschickt, da er eine Bedienstete geschwängert hat. Amerika ist jedoch nicht das Paradies, das er erwartet hatte. Franz Kafka (1883-1924) war ein deutschsprachiger Schriftsteller. Sein Hauptwerk bilden neben drei Romanfragmenten zahlreiche Erzählungen. Kafkas Werke wurden zum größeren Teil erst nach seinem Tod und gegen seine letztwillige Verfügung von Max Brod veröffentlicht, einem engen Freund und Vertrauten, den Kafka als Nachlassverwalter bestimmt hatte. Kafkas Werke zählen unbestritten zum Kanon der Weltliteratur.
