About the Author
Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was one of the giants of 20th century German literature. His stories, such as The Metamorphosis (1915), and novels, including The Trial (1925) and The Castle (1926), concern troubled individuals in a nightmarishly impersonal and bureaucratic world. His writing is some of the most influential in Western culture, although much of it is incomplete, and was only published posthumously.

From the Publisher
"I think of a Kafka story as a perfect work of literary art, as approachable as it is strange, and as strange as it is approachable."
