His nightmarish novels and short stories have come to symbolize modern man's anxiety and alienation in a bizarre, hostile, and dehumanized world. This vision is most fully realized in Kafka's masterpiece, ""The Metamorphosis", " a story that is both harrowing and amusing, and a landmark of modern literature. Bringing together some of Kafka's finest work, this collection demonstrates the richness and variety of the author's artistry. ""The Judgment", " which Kafka considered to be his decisive breakthrough, and ""The Stoker", " which became the first chapter of his novel "Amerika", are here included. These two, along with ""The Metamorphosis", " form a suite of stories Kafka referred to as "The Sons, " and they collectively present a devastating portrait of the modern family. Also included are ""In the Penal Colony", " a story of a torture machine and its operators and victims, and ""A Hunger Artist", " about the absurdity of an artist trying to communicate with a misunderstanding public. Kafka's lucid, succinct writing chronicles the labyrinthine complexities, the futility-laden horror, and the stifling oppressiveness that permeate his vision of modern life. …More
