Product description
Review
“[Kafka] spoke for millions in their new unease; a century after his birth, he seems the last holy writer, and the supreme fabulist of modern man’s cosmic predicament.”
—from the Foreword by John Updike
“The distinction Kafka, or his heroes, draw between this world and the world does not imply that there are two different worlds, only that our habitual conceptions of reality are not the true conception.”
—W. H. Auden
“An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic, numinous, and prophetic.”
—The New York Times

About the Author
Franz Kafka was born in 1883 in Prague, where he lived most of his life. During his lifetime, he published only a few short stories, including “The Metamorphosis,” “The Judgment,” and “The Stoker.” He died in 1924, before completing any of his full-length novels. At the end of his life, Kafka asked his lifelong friend and literary executor Max Brod to burn all his unpublished work. Brod overrode those wishes.

disappointed with this edition
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 6 September 2018Verified Purchase
Having been thrilled to see Schocken producing in this series new translations of Kafka's great works, it was a disappointment to see here merely a collection of already exist translations largely from the Muir partnership. I was hoping Schocken had extended to Kafka's novella's, short stories and fragments - the content of which I have no gripes about and is, as ever, indispensable - the new translations they procured for his novels.

Not a huge fan of the way they’ve edged the pages, but it’s a decent book. Had to buy it for a course, and they were specific about this edition - else I would have got one that’s a bit nicer looking!
