Franz Kafka - The Metamorphosis & Other Stories (Oxford World's Classics, 2009). Translated by Joyce Crick.

ISBN: 9780199238552 | 208 pages | PDF


It is one of the most memorable first lines in all of literature: "When Gregor Samsa woke one morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed into some kind of monstrous vermin." So begins Kafka's famous short story, THE METAMORPHOSIS. Kafka considered publishing it with two of the stories included here in a volume to be called "Punishments".

THE JUDGMENT explores an enigmatic power struggle between a father and son, while IN THE PENAL COLONY examines questions of power, justice, punishment, and the meaning of pain in a colonial setting. These three stories are flanked by two very different works: MEDITATION, the first book Kafka published, consists of light, whimsical, often poignant mood-pictures, while the autobiographical LETTER TO HIS FATHER analyzes his difficult relationship with his father in devastating detail.

This new translation by Joyce Crick pays particular attention to the nuances of Kafka's style, and the Introduction and notes by Ritchie Robertson provide guidance to this most enigmatic and rewarding of writers. There is also a Biographical Preface, an up-to-date bibliography, and a chronology of Kafka's life.
