Selected Short Stories of Franz Kafka (Modern Library Series)

Franz Kafka's enigmatic, deadpan, and deeply pessimistic stories are central to literary modernism. In 'The Metamorphosis', the estrangement of everyday life becomes corporealized when Gregor Samsa wakes up as a giant bug and wonders how he is going to get to work on time. Kafka inverts the implied degradation of a man's transformation into an animal in 'A Report of the Academy', an ape's address to a group of scientists.Kafka, Franz is the author of 'Selected Short Stories of Franz Kafka (Modern Library Series)' with ISBN 9780679600619 and ISBN 0679600612.
