Foreword by John Updike. "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating".--New York Times.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b><i>The Complete Stories </i></b>brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony," and "A Hunger Artist" to shorter pieces and fragments that Max Brod, Kafka's literary executor, released after Kafka's death.

H. Auden <p/>"An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic, numinous, and prophetic." <br><i>--The New York Times </i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Franz Kafka</b> 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 At the end of his life, Kafka asked his lifelong friend and literary executor Max Brod to burn all his unpublished work.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.
