METAMORPHOSIS AND OTHER STORIES (PENGUIN MODERN CLASSICS)

This collection of new translations brings together the small proportion of Kafka's works that he himself thought worthy of publication. It includes Metamorphosis, an exploration of horrific transformation and alienation; Meditation, a collection of his earlier studies; The Judgement, written in a single night of frenzied creativity; The Stoker, the first chapter of a novel set in America and a fascinating occasional piece; and The Aeroplanes at Brescia, Kafka's eyewitness account of an air display in 1909. Together they reveal his extraordinary breadth of vision and depth of imagination.
