Synopsis
Franz Kafka's nightmarish novels and short stories have come to symbolize modern man's anxiety and alienation in a bizarre, hostile, and dehumanized world. This vision is most fully realized in Kafka's masterpiece, "The Metamorphosis," a story that is both harrowing and amusing, and a landmark of modern literature. Bringing together some of Kafka's finest work, this collection demonstrates the richness and variety of the author's artistry. "The Judgment," which Kafka considered to be his decisive breakthrough, and "The Stoker," which became the first chapter of his novel "Amerika, are here included. These two, along with "The Metamorphosis," form a suite of stories Kafka referred to as "The Sons," and they collectively present a devastating portrait of the modern family.

    Wow, interesting stuff!

    I guess this is a good value for the price, as it has several of Kafka's stories in it. But wow, this is some wild stuff! I had hear about Kafka and was curious, so was glad to get a little taste of his writings without paying a fortune. I would definitely recommend trying out a book like this if you are new to Kafka.
