Description
This collection in Czech presents Franz Kafka’s best-known fantastical story, The Metamorphosis, in which Gregor Samsa wakes to find that he has transformed into a monstrous insect. Alongside this evocative tale, whose meaning has been interpreted in more than a hundred ways, the selection includes the chilling allegory of fanaticism In the Penal Colony, the mysterious horror story A Country Doctor, the cycle A Hunger Artist, the existential tale The Judgment, and brief sketches collected under the title Contemplation. Although Kafka’s surviving work is not extensive, his distinctive literary methods have had a lasting influence on post-war Western European literature, and he is regarded as one of the most important writers of the twentieth century.
