The Metamorphosis and Other Stories (Prevrashchenie)

Franz Kafka is one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, the most widely read and most enigmatic, 'the inscrutable master and ruler of the realm of the German language.' His works were initially published in tiny print runs, which, moreover, sold with difficulty. Today, they sell millions of copies worldwide, yet Brecht's observation remains true that in Kafka's work, 'everything requires a key, like a secret script.' He created a unique artistic universe, captivating in its own uniqueness, a universe where characters experience strange adventures, tormented by the search for answers to their elusive questions. We present to our readers a collection of Kafka's best stories, each an undisputed masterpiece for all time.
