Kafka's most celebrated tale of a commercial salesman unexpectedly freed from the drudgery of his job by his inexplicable transformation into a huge insect is an enduring masterwork of dark humour, existentialist dread and sublime sense of drama.
A collection of Kafka's greatest short fiction, translated by Michael Hofmann
Kafka's masterpiece of unease and black humour, Metamorphosis, the story of an ordinary man transformed into an insect, is brought together in this collection with the rest of his works that he thought worthy of publication. It includes Contemplation, a collection of his earlier short studies; The Judgement, written in a single night of frenzied creativity; The Stoker, the first chapter of a novel set in America; and an eyewitness account of an air display. Together, these stories, fragments and miniature gems reveal the breadth of his vision, his sense of the absurd, and above all his acute, uncanny wit.
Translated with an introduction by Michael Hofmann
