About this product

Product Information

Translated by PEN translation award-winner Joachim Neugroschel, The Metamorphosis, In the Penal Colony, and Other Stories has garnered critical acclaim and is widely recognized as the preeminent English-language anthology of Kafka's stories. These translations illuminate one of this century's most controversial writers and have made Kafka's work accessible to a whole new generation. This classic collection of forty-one great short works -- including such timeless pieces of modern fiction as "The Judgment" and "The Stoker" -- now includes two new stories, "First Sorrow" and "The Hunger Artist."

The Metamorphosis, In the Penal Colony, and Other Stori
I bought this book for a German / Austrian Literature and Culture Class. I enjoyed reading "In The Penal Colony." It tended to be very explicit in details but it reinforced the idea of how some people may have been tortured and punished.
