It includes <i>Metamorphosis</i>, his most famous work, an exploration of horrific transformation and alienation; <i>Meditation</i>, a collection of his earlier studies; <i>The Judgement</i>, written in a single night of frenzied creativity; <i>The Stoker</i>, the first chapter of a novel set in America and a fascinating occasional piece, <i>The Aeroplanes at Brescia</i>, Kafka's eyewitness account of an air display in 1909. Together, these stories reveal the breadth of Kafka's literary vision and the extraordinary imaginative depth of his thought.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>I think of a Kafka story as a perfect work of literary art, as approachable as it is strange, and as strange as it is approachable. <b>--Michael Hofmann</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Franz Kafka</b> (1883-1924) Czech-born German-speaking writer.
