Publisher Description This collection brings together the stories that Kafka allowed to be published during his lifetime. To Max Brod, his literary executor, he wrote- "Of all my writings the only books that can stand are these."From one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, the author of The Metamorphosis and The Trial- A collection that brings together the stories he allowed to be published during his lifetime, including his best-known tale of a man who wakes up transformed into an insect.To Max Brod, his literary executor, Kafka wrote- "Of all my writings the only books that can stand are these.""Kafkas survey of the insectile situation of young Jews in inner Bohemia can hardly be improved upon- With their posterior legs they were still glued to their fathers Jewishness and with their wavering anterior legs they found no new ground. There is a sense in which Kafkas Jewish question (What have I in common with Jews?) has become everybodys question, Jewish alienation the template for all our doubts. What is Muslimness? What is femaleness? What is Polishness? These days we all find our anterior legs flailing before us. Were all insects, all Ungeziefer, now." -Zadie Smith, bestselling author of White Teeth and On Beauty Author Biography FRANZ KAFKA was born in 1883 in Prague, where he lived most of his life. During his lifetime, he published only a few short stories, including "The Metamorphosis," "The Judgment," and "The Stoker." He died in 1924, before completing any of his full-length novels. At the end of his life, Kafka asked his lifelong friend and literary executor Max Brod to burn all his unpublished work. Brod overrode those wishes.
