Metamorphosis and other stories - Franz Kafka

A collection of Kafka's greatest short fiction, translated by Michael Hofmann

Kafka's masterpiece of unease and black humour, Metamorphosis,
the story of an ordinary man transformed into an insect, is brought
together in this collection with the rest of his works that he thought
worthy of publication. It includes Contemplation, a collection of his earlier short studies; The Judgement, written in a single night of frenzied creativity; The Stoker,
the first chapter of a novel set in America; and an eyewitness account
of an air display. Together, these stories, fragments and miniature gems
reveal the breadth of his vision, his sense of the absurd, and above
all his acute, uncanny wit.

Translated with an introduction by Michael Hofmann
