Franz Kafka: The Metamorphosis

Franz Kafka is one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, one of the most widely read and most enigmatic, and the forefather of the literature of the absurd. His works were initially published in negligible print runs, which, moreover, sold with difficulty. Today, they are distributed across the world in millions of copies, yet Brecht's observation that in Kafka's work "everything needs a key, like in secret writing" remains as true as ever. He created an inimitable artistic universe, mesmerizing in its own uniqueness, a universe where characters undergo strange adventures, agonizing in search of answers to their ghostly questions. We offer readers a collection of Kafka's best short stories, each of which is an undisputed masterpiece for all time.
