Franz Kafka's 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. Jason Baker is a writer of short stories living in Brooklyn, New York.

Nehmt beispielsweise seine Sprache! Seine Sprache ist kristallklar, und an der Oberflache merkt man gleichsam kein anderes Bestreben, als richtig, deutlich, dem Gegenstand angemessen zu sein. Und doch ziehen Traume, Visionen von unermesslicher Tiefe unter dem heiteren Spiegel dieses reinen Sprachbaches. Man blickt hinein und ist gebannt von Schonheit und Eigenart. -Back cover.
