'The supreme fabulist of modern man's cosmic predicament' John
Updike 'The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, ghoulishly
detached, exquisitely comic, numinous, and prophetic' New York
Times The essential stories of one of the twentieth century's
greatest and most influential writers No one has captured the
modern experience, its wild dreams, strange joys, its neuroses and
boredom, better than Franz Kafka. His vision, with its absurdity
and twisted humour, has lost none of its force or relevance today.
This essential collection, translated and selected by Alexander
Starritt, casts fresh light on Kafka's genius. Alongside brutal
depictions of violence and justice are jokes and deceptively
slight, mysterious fables. These unforgettable pieces reflect the
brilliance at the core of Franz Kafka, arguably most fully
expressed within his short stories. Together they showcase a writer
of unmatched imaginative depth, capable of expressing the most
profound reality with a wry smile. Part of the Pushkin Press
Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of literature,
hand-picked from around the globe Translated by Alexander Starritt
Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was born to Jewish parents in Prague and
wrote in German. He published only a few story collections and
individual stories in literary magazines during his lifetime. The
rest of his work was published posthumously. He is now considered
one of the most influential authors of the twentieth century.
