With masterful attentiveness to the intricacies of Kafka's dialect of Prague German, this is an essential selection of forty-four stories, including such timeless works of fiction as \"The Metamorphosis,\" \"In the Penal Colony,\" and \"The Judgment.\" Brought into the present by a foreword from Ling Ma, Kafka's work has never been more relevant to contemporary literature--nor has Kafka himself ever been a keener observer of the human condition, with his singular apprehension of power, the absurd, and the enigma and alienation at the center of modern living.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFranz Kafka (1883-1924) was born in Prague.
